20-15, 2nd Place, 2 games behind the Mets
One Sentence Summary: Zack Wheeler cruised to his third win of the season, backed by home runs from Kyle Schwarber, Alec Bohm and Nick Castellanos.
What It Means: The Phillies have won seven of their last nine games.
What Happened: Wheeler likely could have pitched more than seven innings, but with a comfortable lead and following a lengthy top of the eighth, he exited the game having allowed a two-run home run to Yandy Diaz and striking out nine. Schwarber hit a solo home run to center to lead off the second, and Bohm gave the Phillies a 3-0 lead a few batters later with his two-run home run, his first of the season. Castellanos piled on with his three-run home run in the eighth. The right fielder was 3 for 5 on the night with four RBIs.
Featured Card: I ordered a Topps Now Road to Opening Day Phillies team set a few months ago, and it arrived over the weekend. The serial-numbered parallel included in my set was this Wheeler card, a gold version numbered to 50.
