The pitching has shown up in this rematch of the 2022 World Series. For Philadelphia, the offense has been a much more disappointing story.
The night after Ranger Suárez took the loss despite an impressive performance on the mound, the Phillies again failed to score a single run, this time for their ace, Zack Wheeler. Philadelphia has now scored zero runs across two games in Houston, dropping Wednesday’s matchup, 2-0, at Daikin Park.
The Astros (47-33) have won two games against the Phillies (47-33) while scoring a combined three runs.
Wheeler tossed six strong innings of one-run ball for Philadelphia, allowing four hits and three walks.
