Zack Wheeler had to battle. The right-hander wasn’t at his best. He hit three batters and walked two more across a laborious 5 2/3 innings on Sunday afternoon at Yankee Stadium. Two of those hit batters came back-to-back in the bottom of the second inning when the Yankees got to Wheeler for four runs.
The Phillies weren’t able to overcome Wheeler’s rough second inning. They lost their series finale in the Bronx, 4-3, leaving with a series win following back-to-back wins on Friday and Saturday.
Power was a big part of the Phillies’ two wins this weekend.
