Amazing.
Simply amazing.
Not sure what else there is to say about what Zack Wheeler did tonight. I’m sure one could pull out a thesaurus and come up with several other words that are more loquacious, but it’s best to just keep it simple. Zack Wheeler was amazing.
Unfortunately, you can also say that in a negative way and in a positive way about this game.
Needing him to be at his best, the Phillies supported Wheeler by getting him two quick runs in the first inning. Odubel Herrera singled to lead off, then used some heads up baserunning to go to third when centerfielder Tommy Pham bobbled Jean Segura’s single, putting runners on the corners with no one out.
