By delivering a gem on Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Philadelphia Phillies' ace Zack Wheeler has put himself in an extremely rare group in team history.
The Philadelphia Phillies beat the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday night as starting pitcher Zack Wheeler moved himself into some impressive company in the team record books.
Wheeler moved to 10-4 with the win, as he threw 5.0 innings and allowed just one earned run. He walked two and struck out seven. He now has a 2.70 ERA for the year and recorded his 800th career strikeout in the effort.On pace for a potential career year in 2024, @Phillies hurler Zack Wheeler enters his start vs the Dodgers having registered 794 strikeouts in 119 career games since joining the Phils.
The 34-year-old Wheeler is still at the top of his game for a Phillies team that has designs on winning the World Series this season. They've been to the World Series and NLCS in successive years, only to fall short. Wheeler left the game with tightness in his lower back though, so that is something important to monitor.
It's the 10th season that Wheeler has appeared in the big leagues, though he was out for all of 2014-2016.
