LOUIS — The most satisfying Phillies comeback since Jimmy Rollins’ double to the right center field gap off Jonathan Broxton in Game 4 of the 2009 NLCS could not be authored without Zack Wheeler’s masterful outing that proceeded it.
At least that’s what his catcher J.T. Realmuto thinks. He could sense Wheeler had “it” when the two were in the bullpen as the players lined up for pregame introductions.
