Final Score: Phillies 6, Red Sox 2
Few starters in the major leagues have been as good as Zack Wheeler.
In a game in which the Phillies bullpen desperately needed a breather, Wheeler went 7 1/3 innings against a tough Red Sox lineup. He struck out 12 batters, induced 21 swings-and-misses and allowed only his second earned run in the month of May in a Phillies four-run victory against the Boston Red Sox.
Sunday’s outing was Wheeler’s sixth consecutive outing in which he has thrown at least six innings or more.
