One Sentence Summary: Zack Wheeler solidified the team's confidence that he is in fact back, pitching 7 1/3 strong innings in this 2-1 series opening win against the Red Sox.
What It Means: The Phillies look to continue to win series, digging themselves out of the early hole they dug themselves in April.
What Happened: Wheeler needed just 16 pitches through the first three innings, the fewest pitches thrown by a starting pitcher through the first three innings since at least 2000. He departed having thrown 87 pitches (57 for strikes) and allowing six singles while striking out four. Kyle Schwarber hit a solo home run in the top of the first, his 17th home run of the season. It was the fifth consecutive game with a home run for Schwarber, tying a club record set by six other Phillies, most recently by Odubel Herrera in 2018. Brandon Marsh singled to lead off the second and came home on a ground-rule double by Bryson Stott to complete the Phillies' scoring for the night.
