A night after Aaron Nola tossed eight scoreless in a 6-0 win, Philadelphia Phillies’ righty Zack Wheeler held the Washington Nationals off the board over 6 2⁄3 innings pitched in Citizens Bank Park, in what ended up a 3-0 win for the home team.
Max Scherzer put together a solid start but received no support while he was on the hill.
It’s the Nationals’ fifth straight loss, and it left them 12-22 on the year. No wonder GM Mike Rizzo had this to say to 106.
