| 2023 Topps Now Road to Opening Day #OD-189 |
Game 52 - Saturday Afternoon, May 27th in Atlanta
Record - 25-27, 4th Place, 6 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Zack Wheeler put on an eight-inning pitching clinic in this 2-1 win over the Braves.
What It Means: The Phillies will attempt the series win on Sunday night in the series finale.
What Happened: Wheeler was in complete control. He threw 106 pitches, allowing three hits and a walk while striking out 12. Craig Kimbrel allowed a ninth inning Sean Murphy solo home run before recording his seventh save of the season and the 401st save for his career. The Phillies scored both their runs in the fifth. Bryson Stott scored Brandon Marsh on a sacrifice fly, and Trea Turner then doubled home Kody Clemens. The Phillies offense was otherwise quiet, but those two runs were all Wheeler would need.
Featured Card: After turning in one of his best starts so far in a Phillies uniform, Wheeler owns a 2.10 ERA in his Phillies starts against the Braves. Wheeler earned a Topps Now card for his performance. While I wait for that card to arrive in the mail, here's his Topps Now Road to Opening Day card.
