Fresh off the pain of yesterday, the Phillies hoped to rebound against the Giants and try to salvage what was left of their dignity. And things started well! The Phillies sent Zack Wheeler out to attack this Giants lineup with a pretty normal starting 9 as well, save for Hoskins and Gregorius. Wheeler pitched pretty well and efficiently for the first four innings, aided by defense like a tremendous catch in center field by Mickey Moniak in the first inning.
Unlike recent games, the offense contributed, aided by the young guns.
