One Sentence Summary: Zack Wheeler threw seven scoreless innings as the Phillies shut out the Pirates for the second day in a row, sealing the series sweep.
What It Means: The Phillies are firing on all cylinders, and they'll look to continue their winning ways with a six-game home set against the Reds and Guardians.
What Happened: Wheeler out dueled Paul Skenes, who was chased after five-plus innings and was charged with five runs on six hits. Wheeler improved to 3-0, and lowered his ERA to 1.99 with his dominant performance, in which he allowed four hits, walked a batter, and struck out eight. The game was scoreless until the fifth when the Phillies scored a pair on an RBI ground out from Justin Crawford and an RBI-single from Trea Turner. Bryce Harper homered to lead off the top of the sixth against Skenes, with Alec Bohm then singling and Brandon Marsh doubling to end Skenes' day. Bryson Stott doubled them both home to give the Phillies a 5-0 lead. In the eighth, Stott hit a solo home run, his fourth of the season to cap the scoring for the weekend.
Featured Card: Here's one of the more unique Wheeler cards I've added recently, as the Reading Fightin Phils included a Wheeler card as part of a mystery promo pack when you buy their Series 1 team set. Wheeler made two rehab starts with Reading in April.
