One Sentence Summary: Zack Wheeler and three relievers held the Guardians to three hits in this 3-0 shutout win.
What It Means: Weather permitting (again), the Phillies will go for a series win this afternoon. Saturday's game was delayed for nearly two hours due to rain.
What Happened: Wheeler improved to 4-0 with his ERA dropping to 1.67 in his latest stellar outing. Orion Kerkering and Brad Keller were perfect in the seventh and eighth innings, and Jhoan Duran allowed a ninth inning lead-off double before retiring the side and recording his ninth save. Bryson Stott connected for a clutch two-out, two-run single in in the fourth to get the Phillies on the board. Adolis Garcia walked with the bases loaded in the sixth for an insurance run.
Featured Card: Here's Wheeler's card from the team-issued Kids Club set, which I completed on Friday night with the addition of the Aaron Nola card. It's an 18-card set, for now, and one of the employees manning the Kids Club booth told me there are no plans for additional cards. That could change of course, and the addition of a Don Mattingly card to the set would be a welcome addition.
