In a rotation anchored by Zack Wheeler and Aaron Nola, left-hander Ranger Suarez was named National League Pitcher of the Month to punctuate a stellar start to the season for Phillies starting pitchers.

His best start of the month came against the Colorado Rockies when the 28-year-old tossed a 112-pitch complete game shutout with 8 strikeouts.Suarez ranks second among major league starters in ERA , and holds the best starters' WHIP in the league.
Perhaps his most impressive feat of the month was the 32-inning scoreless streak that stretched from Apr. 6 to Apr. 27.Suarez and his Phillies' rotation mates currently hold the second-best staff ERA in the majors, behind only the Boston Red Sox . Phillies starters, however, have thrown the most innings in baseball and have tallied the most strikeouts thus far. The Pitcher of the Month award was the first in Suarez's seven-year MLB career.
