Written by I Dig SportsPHILADELPHIA -- Phillies left-hander Ranger Suarez left Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals with a left hand contusion after he was hit by a line drive off the bat off Alec Burleson in the second inning.
Suarez, who entered the game tied for the major league lead with nine wins, picked up the ball and threw to first to get the final out of the frame and then immediately winced in pain.
