One Sentence Summary: Zack Wheeler's second half struggles continued and the Phillies offense managed just five hits in this 9-2 series opening loss to the Mariners.
What It Means: The nine game winning streak went out with a whimper in the middle of the night. This is especially disappointing given how the club's nine-game homestead had ended, with one of the more memorable walk-off home run wins in franchise history.
What Happened: Wheeler lasted four innings, allowing four home runs (two to Cal Raleigh) and eight runs overall on nine hits and five walks. It appeared he could not locate the strike zone at all. Chase Shugart allowed Raleigh's third home run of the game in the seventh. The Phillies held a brief 1-0 lead after a bases loaded Alec Bohm ground out in the first, but the Mariners answered with five runs in the bottom of the first. J.T. Realmuto hit a solo home run in the second.
Featured Card: I'd be lying if I said I stayed up for the duration of this game, as we called it a night following Realmuto's home run. With no logical choice here, here's a card of my favorite Phillies/Mariners player, local product Larry Milbourne.
