Ranger Suarez Adjusts Pitch Usage Ahead of Potential Wild Card Start

Boston Red Sox pitcher Ranger Suarez is lined up to start Game 3 of the Wild Card series. Over his last three starts, the lefty has allowed just two earned runs across 19.2 innings, holding righties to a .190 average. Suarez made notable changes in September, slashing his changeup usage to 8%, increasing sinker and slider usage, and boosting his first-strike percentage to 68%. The adjustments have proved effective as the Red Sox approach their postseason run.
