Locked On Phillies - Daily Podcast On The Philadelphia Phillies Locked On Podcast Network

Zach Wheeler tossed 7.1ip allowing two runs on three hits and striking out six as the Phillies beat the nationals 4 to 2 and the opener of their 3-game series!

After the Phillies used 7 pitchers the previous night in an 11-inning loss to the Mets, Wheeler gave his team all his had, including 4 bonus outs. Wheeler started the 7th inning at 91 pitches, then needed just 9 pitches to retire the side in the inning. He was able to record one more out in the 8th, before giving way to Jose Alvarado, who finished the inning. Jeff Hoffman came on to close out the 9th and did so needed just 10 pitches.

Segment 1: THREE BIG THINGS: 1) Zack Wheeler was just what the Phillies needed; Their starter to eat innings. 2) Bryson Stott will hurt you with the long ball or now, even a bunt! He got a little 2-out lightning going for the Phillies in the 3rd inning. 3) Brandon Marsh, solid game at the plate and in the field.

Aaron Nola tosses the 4th complete game shutout of his career as the Phillies beat the Mets 4-0 in New York!

Nola used 109 pitches over this 9 innings, surrendering just 4 hits and issuing no walks. He struck out 8 Mets in total using his Knuckle curveball six times as his put-away pitch. The Phillies righty even took a perfect game into the 6th inning before it was broken up by Mets outfielder Tyrone Taylor.
Segment 1: THREE BIG THINGS: 1) Aaron Nola’s incredible start! Absolutely dominated the Mets and helped give the bullpen a much-needed day off. 2) Bryson Stott is on fire! 3 walks today and Contributed with an RBI single in the ninth. 3) Garrett Stubbs. It’s not much, but Stubbs needed these last two days. Gets an RBI yesterday, then catches Nola’s 4th career complete game. Good for Stubbs! … Also, please STOP HITTING ALEC BOHM!!!!

Segment 2: Nola’s offense didn’t help him out until late in the ball game. Score just 2 runs despite getting base runners and runners in scoring position often.

Segment 3: What’s next for the Phillies? More Mets! – Four-game split home and home continues Wednesday night at 6:40 when Ranger Suarez takes on Jose Quintana.
