Final Score: Phillies 3, Braves 0
The NL Cy Young favorite was at Citizens Bank Park Saturday sitting in the visitors dugout in the form of Atlanta Braves lefty Chris Sale. But he got a front-row seat to a dominant outing from Philadelphia Phillies righty Zack Wheeler that served as a reminder that the race for the top pitching honor in the senior circuit is still unfolding.
In a 3-0 Phillies win, Wheeler had himself quite the night, limiting the Braves to just four hits over seven shutout innings, while striking out seven.
“Yeah, I hope so,” Wheeler said when asked if he thinks he’s put himself in the Cy Young conversation.
