Zack Wheeler Shines In Opening Day Start
9 months agoPhiladelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler continued his dominant ways on Friday, throwing for five strikeouts in six scoreless innings against the Atlanta Braves. Despite Wheeler's efforts, the Phillies fell to the Braves 9-2. Wheeler was in line to record the win until the Braves scored two runs in the seventh, knotting it up at two, and then scoring seven runs in the eighth inning. Though an unlucky result for Wheeler, he should continue to be dominant for the Phillies in 2024 as they try to make a run to dethrone the Braves in the National League East. Wheeler will look to build on Friday's performance against the Reds in his next scheduled start on Wednesday.
