May 28 - Zack Wheeler is enjoying another stellar season, although his worst start of the campaign came last month against the Atlanta Braves.
Wheeler gets another shot at the Braves on Wednesday when the Phillies' ace takes the ball in the middle contest of a three-game set in Philadelphia.
Wheeler (6-1, 2.42 ERA) enters this matchup with a streak of 22 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings, having not allowed a run in any of his past three starts. He blanked the Athletics over 6 2/3 innings last Friday in winning his fourth consecutive start.
The recent string of zeros has been a welcome sight for Wheeler, who gave up a season-high five runs in a season-low 5 1/3 innings on April 8 in a 7-5 loss to the Braves.
