PHILADELPHIA – Zack Wheeler continues to amaze.
The ace’s incredible month of June came to an end with a third-consecutive outing without allowing an earned run. He mowed down the San Diego Padres order in a 4-0 win to secure the Phillies’ 50th win of the year.
His eight innings pitched were a season high. His season ERA is down to 2.27. He is a virtual lock to make the National League All-Star team in his hometown of Atlanta.
His month of June might be the best of his career. It’s the first time he has allowed two earned runs in a month where he has thrown at least 30 innings.
