This Phillies team is pretty fun to watch, eh?
For the second game in a row, the Phillies defeated the Atlanta Braves, and this time they didn’t need extra innings to do so. Zack Wheeler, Archie Bradley, and Hector Neris absolutely baffled Atlanta, allowing only one base runner all game. They combined for 14 strikeouts, zero walks, and one hit in nine masterful innings.
Wheeler made things exciting early, when he hit 100 MPH on the radar gun in the first inning. Technically, the pitch was “only” 99.8 MPH, but so what? It’s still absolutely awesome to see Wheeler throwing with increased velocity, and hopefully he’ll find that extra .
