Although he may be their No. 2 starting pitcher on the depth chart, Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Zack Wheeler not only put up numbers that resemble an ace — but also a four-hole slugger — in the team’s 4-0 home victory against the Atlanta Braves on Saturday.
Zack Wheeler shined both on the mound and at the plate against the Braves.
Facing 22 batters, Wheeler only opposed one batter over the minimum through seven dominant innings — allowing just a single to former Phillies catcher prospect Travis d’Arnaud in the top of the second inning.
