Welcome back: Phillies 3, Astros 2

The last game the Houston Astros (70-61) played at Citizens Bank Park was Game 5 of the 2022 World Series. Tonight, the home crowd was treated to a morsel of revenge as the Philadelphia Phillies (77-54) earned a hard fought 3-2 victory in extra innings to open a crucial seven-game homestand.

Zack Wheeler did not have his best stuff, allowing Astros’ batters to work five full counts in the first four innings. But he recovered as the game wore on and left with another quality start, his 21st out of 26 starts this season, though his 100th win remains elusive.
