Phillies: Zack Wheeler shines in Game 1 victory over Yankees

Facing their former left-handed starting pitcher J.A. Happ, the Philadelphia Phillies came away with their second win of the season in the first half of the twin bill doubleheader against the New York Yankees on Wednesday.

The game was anything but the ordinary; the Yankees batted last as the home team, but still donned their road gray uniforms, with the Phillies donning their white, red pinstriped uniforms.

Due to an agreement between MLB and the MLBPA for the shortened season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the game lasted just seven innings.

There was a fifth-inning stretch.
