Game 21 - Saturday Night, April 20th in Philadelphia
Record - 13-8, 2nd Place, 2 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Zack Wheeler took a no-hitter into the eighth inning and the Phillies offense supported him with clutch hitting in this 9-5 win over the White Sox.
What It Means: The Phillies will go for a series sweep, and their sixth win in a row, on Sunday afternoon behind Aaron Nola.
What Happened: Wheeler lost his no-hitter with one out in the eighth inning when Korey Lee singled up the first base line. He departed to a standing ovation, having allowed the one hit, two walks and striking out eight. The game should have been a shutout but the White Sox batted around against reliever Ricardo Pinto in the ninth. Pinto allowed five runs, and Jose Alvarado had to come in for a one-pitch save.

Castellanos hit a two-run single in the fifth, Bryce Harper added an RBI single in the sixth and J.T. Realmuto contributed a sacrifice fly to make it 7-0 Phillies. Turner plated two final runs with an RBI double in the seventh.
Featured Card: Wheeler's ERA dropped to 2.30 and he picked up his first win of 2024 after finally receiving some run support. This is his 1975 Topps-inspired Topps Heritage card.
