Bryson Stott hits a 3-run homer to help the Phillies beat the Marlins 4-2

MIAMI (AP) — Bryson Stott hit a three-run homer, Ranger Suárez pitched seven effective innings and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Miami Marlins 4-2 on Wednesday night.

Suárez (6-1) permitted one run and four hits in another solid performance since his return from an early season back injury. He struck out eight and walked two.

The veteran left-hander has only allowed eight runs since giving up seven in his first start of the season on May 4.

Stott capped Philadelphia's four-run fourth inning against Adam Mazur (0-1) with his fifth homer of the season. J.T. Realmuto hit an RBI single before Stott drove a first-pitch fastball deep to center.

Mazur struck out five and allowed five hits in 5 2/3 innings in his Marlins debut. He was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville.

The Marlins closed to 4-2 in the ninth on Dane Myers’ one-out RBI single. They had a runner in scoring position before Matt Strahm struck out Connor Norby and got Nick Fortes to fly out for his fourth save.

Alec Bohm singled twice and doubled for Philadelphia in his second multihit outing of the series and sixth in his last nine games overall.

Nick Castellanos doubled and singled in his return to Philadelphia's lineup after being benched the day before for making “an inappropriate comment” when he was pulled for a defensive replacement on Monday.

Norby hit a solo shot off Suárez that went 415 feet to center to make it 4-1 in the fifth.

Jack Winkler got his first major league hit against Strahm in the ninth.

Stott has pitched six or more innings in each of his eight starts since his rough season debut in which he gave up seven runs in 3 2/3 innings against Arizona.

LHP Christopher Sánchez (5-2, 3.05 ERA) will start for the Phillies on Thursday against Marlins RHP Edward Cabrera (2-2, 4.10 ERA).

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Eagles running back Saquon Barkley said he'd love to stay with the team amidst trade rumors after six straight losses.

“I would love to be here," Barkley told reporters after Philadelphia's 27-10 loss to Washington on Sunday night. “I plan on being here. I don’t like the way the season is going, but I am not one of those guys that wants to jump ship. That’s not the type of person you want to have, and that’s not the person I am. I’d rather be a part of a solution to the problem and hopefully be a reason we fix it.”

Now, with one game remaining before the trade deadline, on Nov. 10, the Eagles (2-6) are in last place with the NFC East-leading Giants headed to Philadelphia next Sunday. And with a handful of other injuries on the roster, including to quarterback Jalen Hurts, Barkley had to address his future with the team Sunday.

Barkley had 14 touches for 54 yards and a touchdown against the Commanders, but certainly didn't play a full allotment of snaps as he has dealt with hamstring and back injuries.

In his third season with the Eagles, Barkley has rushed for 274 yards on 56 carries (4.9 yards per carry) with two rushing touchdowns. He's also caught seven passes for 41 yards.

The Eagles have already traded offensive lineman Cam Jurgens to the Ravens for two draft picks, which has opened the door to conversations about future moves.

Barkley, though, says he'd like to stick in Philadelphia.
