Phillies Waste Scoring Opportunity in 7th, Then Lose After Davis Homers Off Suarez
- The Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 2-1 at PNC Park on Saturday, June 7, 2025, with a seventh-inning home run from Henry Davis.
- The Phillies entered the game slumping after losing eight of their last nine contests, and Bryce Harper was placed on the injured list with right wrist inflammation before the game.
- In the top of the first inning, Kyle Schwarber launched a solo homer off Andrew Heaney to put the Phillies ahead, but the Pirates quickly evened the score in the bottom half with a triple from Nick Gonzales followed by a single from Andrew McCutchen.
- Henry Davis went 2-for-3, launching his fourth home run of the season—a 401-foot solo blast to left-center—off Ranger Suarez, handing Suarez his first defeat of the year. Meanwhile, Isaac Mattson secured his first MLB victory and David Bednar notched his eighth save.
- The victory marked the Pirates' third in four games against the Phillies and set up a chance to sweep the series with Paul Skenes scheduled to pitch Sunday against Philadelphia starter Cristopher Sanchez.
