00:00Another great outing out of Zach Wheeler, also in that National League Cy Young race,
00:05seven innings of work, scoreless baseball only allowing three hits and striking out seven.
00:11Simeon Woods Richardson on the other side for Minnesota, six innings of shutout work to start
00:16the game for the Twins. We were scoreless into the ninth in the Phillies plate three. Brandon Marsh,
00:22an RBI sac fly that scored Bryce Harper. Nick Castellanos adds on with a two RBI double.
00:28All three runs in the game and for Philadelphia coming in the ninth,
00:33the Phillies even this midweek set at a game apiece with a three nothing victory over Minnesota.
00:38Yeah, you take the microscope out. You needed to see that good starting pitching performance
00:42where Zach Wheeler wasn't like, okay, I'm not going to pitch more than 80 total pitches in
00:46this game regardless of the score. He goes over 100 pitches here and was phenomenal yesterday.
00:51But keep in mind, the Phillies offense, which yesterday, two days ago's games, excuse me,
00:56the final 27 batters of that game, they had one base hit. And you look at this game where they go
01:01all the way through up to the ninth inning without scoring a run, only have six total hits here. So
01:05it's a good win for the Phillies just as a snapshot, but that offense has to start to perform
01:09here. But I think the biggest one overall is it looks like Zach Wheeler is back to being Zach
01:13Wheeler with no stress on that lower back. That's a great sign for the Phillies moving forward also.
