What to know

  • Zack Wheeler set a Phillies franchise record with seven consecutive strikeouts to open the game and became the 96th pitcher in MLB history to reach 2,000 career strikeouts.
  • A three-run eighth inning rally led by Bryson Stott's tiebreaking single broke a 3-3 tie and secured the 6-4 victory.
  • The Phillies lowered their magic number to clinch a wild-card playoff spot to two, needing one more win or an Arizona loss to secure a postseason berth.

“Obviously he's been really good. His stuff's really, really good. But more than anything, he's handled everything. Just his demeanor around the clubhouse, the way he's able to get himself ready, he can check himself and not throw a ton of pitches down there, so he stays fresh. He's been huge.”
