Wheel Appeal: Phillies 2, Braves 1
A true gem of an outing for Zack WheelerThis was Zack Wheeler’s show.
It was the Georgia native’s 25th career appearance against the Atlanta Braves. He came into the game with a record of 10-7, striking out 152 batters over the first 24 games. His performance so far this season has been somewhat uneven. Against the Red Sox on May 5th, he gave up five runs (four earned) over 5.1 innings. In his next outing against Toronto he went 7.0 full innings, allowing three hits and was tagged for only a single run.
Today, he looked like the aces of days gone by. Eight innings, three hits, twelve strikeouts. No runs.
Alec Bohm said of him, “He’s just a horse.”
OH HE WASNT FINISHED
