A sudden burst of heavy rain was perhaps the only thing capable of stopping Zack Wheeler Friday night in a 2-1 Phillies win over the Pirates. NBCSPhilly's CoreySeidman has the game recap.
"Another laugher, huh?" Thomson joked after the Phillies improved to 22-12 in one-run games. Only the Reds, Guardians and Athletics have played more.
Friday was Wheeler's first start with Harper at first. That transition is already paying dividends for the Phils. Their left-field defense is significantly improved. Schwarber beat out an infield single earlier this week. Does that happen if he's running around in left? He's driven in a run in three of the last five games.
Wheeler touched 98 mph in the first inning and hit 97 six times, also topping out at 93 with a slider that had averaged 88. He mowed through an overmatched Pirates team that is 25-50 since April 30 and ranks in the bottom three of baseball in batting average, OPS and runs per game this month.
