Game 46 - Wheeler Back on Track in Win Over Nats

2024 Topps Now
Road to Opening Day #OD-189
Phillies 4
Nationals 2
Game 46 - Friday Night, May 17th in Philadelphia
Record - 32-14, 1st Place, 3 1/2 games ahead of the Braves

One Sentence Summary:  Zack Wheeler made quick work of the Nationals' line-up in this 4-2 Friday night win.

What It Means:  The Phillies are hot, and fun to watch, and they improved to 3-1 in their City Connect uniforms.

What Happened:  The Phillies scored four runs in the first three innings, which was more than enough for Wheeler.  Alec Bohm delivered his league-leading 18th double in the first inning to score J.T. Realmuto who had singled earlier.  Up 3-1 after two innings, the offense added their fourth run when Brandon Marsh doubled home Stott in the third.

Wheeler went 7 1/3 innings, allowing a pair of runs on three hits while striking out six.  Jose Alvarado and Jeff Hoffman took it the rest of the way, with Hoffman earning his third save.

Featured Card:  Here's Wheeler's card from the Topps Now Road from Opening Day set, which had a reported print run of just 888 sets.
