Dodger Stadium - Los Angeles, CA

29-28, 2nd Place, 9 1/2 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Zack Wheeler gave up four solo home runs and the Phillies offense managed three hits in this 4-2, series opening loss to the Dodgers.
What It Means: Six innings into this game on Friday night, I found myself wondering why I had decided to stay up to watch it.
What Happened: Wheeler allowed solo home runs in the first, second, third and fifth innings to Freddie Freeman, Max Muncy, Shohei Ohtani and Will Smith. Dodgers' lefty starter Justin Wrobleski no-hit the Phillies through 5 2/3 innings until Kyle Schwarber launched a home run to center, his 22nd of the season. In the eighth, Brandon Marsh doubled and came home on an RBI-single from Steward Berrroa. Schwarber, Marsh and Berroa's hits accounted for all the offense from the Phillies in this game.
Featured Card: Berroa was claimed off waivers from the Brewers on April 8th, and he becomes the latest player inserted into the line-up in the hope of generating some more offense. He appeared in 28 games with the Blue Jays in 2024, and in a pair of games with the Brewers last season. He's got one mainstream baseball card to date, found in the 2025 Topps flagship set.
Transaction: Berroa (of) was recalled from Lehigh Valley and Otto Kemp (of) was sent back down. Aaron Nola (rhp) was placed on the paternity list, with Nolan Hoffman (rhp) taking his place on the roster.
