One Sentence Summary: Zack Wheeler just didn't have it and Chris Sale made easy work of the Phillies line-up in this 9-3 defeat.
What It Means: The Phillies have won nine of their last ten series, and Rhys Hoskins and the Brewers come to town next for a weekend set.
What Happened: Wheeler gave up four runs in the fourth and he'd be charged with two more runs in the sixth after Carlos Hernandez allowed both his inherited runners to score. The Braves would add three more runs against relievers Joe Ross and Brett de Geus. The Phillies pushed across three runs in the late innings, but it wasn't nearly enough to overcome the early deficit. Sale pitched six shutout innings and struck out eight in his outing.
Featured Card: de Geus, on the roster as the 27th man for the double header, made his Phillies debut, walking three, allowing a hit and giving up a ninth inning run. The Phillies are the sixth team the pitcher has appeared for over parts of three big league seasons. His longest stint came in 2021 when he relieved in 28 games for the Diamondbacks. de Geus has a card in this year's IronPigs' team set.
