Bats fail Wheeler in loss to Reds

Final Score: Reds 6, Phillies 1

Phillies Cy Young candidate Zack Wheeler wasn’t at his sharpest. He gave up four earned runs, including two home runs to two of the NL’s best hitters in Joey Votto and Nick Castellanos. Still, six innings and four runs is enough to keep a team in the game.

Not with this Phillies offense.

They went 1-for-15 with runners on base. Bryce Harper was ejected in the ninth inning for arguing balls and strikes from the dugout.
