In the middle act of the weekend series, as well as the nine-game homestand, the Phillies (71-58) tightened their grasp on the windpipe of the listless St. Louis Cardinals (56-74) with a 12-1 drubbing of the NL Central basement dwellers.
Zach Wheeler became the third Phillies starter to register double digit wins this season as he authored a masterful outing, allowing just one run on three hits and compiling 10 strikeouts for the fourth time this season.
