Game 16 - Sunday Afternoon, April 14th in Philadelphia
Record - 8-8, 2nd Place, 2 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Sloppy play, a lack of offense and a rough start from Zack Wheeler contributed to this 9-2 loss to the Pirates.
What It Means: The Phillies split the series, and they'll open up a three-game series against the last place Rockies on Monday night.
What Happened: The Phillies are winless in Wheeler's four starts, scoring a total of six runs when he's on the mound. Ahead 2-1 in the top of the sixth, the Pirates opened the inning when Ke'Bryan Hayes reached on an error by Alec Bohm. Rowdy Tellez walked, Andrew McCutchen singled and Jack Suwinski hit a back-breaking grand slam off Wheeler to give the Pirates a 5-2 lead. Relievers Seranthony Dominguez and Ricardo Pinto would allow four more runs to score. Trea Turner raised his average to .302 by going 3 for 4 with a third inning solo home run.
Featured Card: McCutchen hit a two-run home run off Pinto in the ninth, the 300th of the popular outfielder's career. I remember being so hopeful when McCutchen signed here prior to the 2019 season, but a devastating knee injury on June 3rd that season and the pandemic-shortened 2020 season essentially derailed his Phillies career.
Transaction: Orion Kerkering (rhp) was activated from the Injured List, pitching a scoreless inning in this game in his 2024 debut, and Nick Nelson (rhp) was optioned to Lehigh Valley.
