One Sentence Summary: The Phillies were shut out for the second consecutive night, this time by Colton Gordon and four Astros' relievers in this 2-0 loss.
What It Means: They'll try to avoid the three-game sweep this afternoon, and hope the Braves take care of the Mets tonight.
What Happened: The offensive performance from the Phillies was only slightly better than Tuesday night. The line-up managed seven singles, two each from Kyle Schwarber and Brandon Marsh, while going 1 for 5 with runners in scoring position. Zack Wheeler gave up a run on four hits in his six innings of work, striking out eight. Matt Strahm gave up a solo home run to Victor Caratini in the bottom of the eighth.
Featured Card: The Phillies were shut out for the first time in consecutive games since August 13 and 14, 2022. Had Strahm not allowed the eighth inning home run, they would have lost consecutive games by 1-0 scores for the first time since April 19 and 20, 1996, according to this post on Bluesky. Those games came against the Cardinals and the losing pitchers were Russ Springer and Ricky Bottalico.
