Phillies sweep Rockies behind solid Wheeler outing

Final Score: Phillies 7, Rockies 1

The Phillies clinched their first series sweep of the season on Thursday against the Colorado Rockies, who are sure as heck as excited as anyone to get on the plane back to Denver.

Zack Wheeler allowed only one hit through six shutout innings. The offense, thanks to some more bad defense from Colorado and command issues out of the bullpen, scored seven runs on four hits. The Phillies will travel to New York with a 10-10 record and look to extend their four-game winning streak against the 14-6 Mets.
