After going 11–9 with a 2.98 ERA in 27 starts for the Arkansas Travelers in 2015 to earn a Texas League Mid-Season All-Star selection, Suárez was signed by the Giants for 2016 with an invitation to major league spring training.[1] He started the 2016 season with the Triple-A Sacramento River Cats.[2] Suárez was 1–2 with a 2.88 ERA when he was called up to the Giants on May 6, 2016.[3] He made his major league debut on May 8, pitching one scoreless inning in relief against the Colorado Rockies.[4] Suárez earned his first major league win on May 11, pitching a scoreless top of the 13th inning against the Toronto Blue Jays, escaping a bases-loaded jam by inducing José Bautista to pop out.[5]
