ATLANTA -- Maybe the Phillies heard what Dave Dombrowski had to say before the game.
Or maybe everyone just grabbed a seat on the Zack Wheeler Excellence Express and enjoyed the ride.
Whatever the case, the Phillies were victorious in their first meeting of the season against the defending World Series champion Atlanta Braves on Monday night. Rhys Hoskins stroked a three-run double, Roman Quinn drove in a pair of runs and cut down one with his arm and, of course, Wheeler was Wheeler in leading a 7-3 Phillies win.
