The Philadelphia Phillies completed a four-game sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers Thursday afternoon behind Zack Wheeler‘s second-career complete game shutout.

Offensive sparks from Rhys Hoskins, Didi Gregorius, and Alec Bohm powered the Phillies in the absence of the injured Bryce Harper. A hectic shuffle in bullpen usage amid the suspension of Jose Alvarado kept fans on the edge of their seats, but the sweep has propelled the Phillies into first place.
