In their current winning streak, the Phillies have won in a variety of ways: They’ve blown opponents out, they’ve had a couple nail-biters, and even came away with a ninth inning comeback. On Saturday afternoon, their offense wasn’t at its best, but it didn’t matter because Zack Wheeler and the bullpen held the Arizona Diamondbacks scoreless. The result was their ninth win in a row, this time by a 4-0 score.
A long winning streak tends to bring out a variety of heroes, and on Saturday, it was finally Nick Castellanos’ time to shine.
