Zack Wheeler pitched like an ace again in a 6-1 Phillies win over Houston
But he didn’t seem affected by where he was pitching, or who he was pitching against, on Saturday. It was a workman-like performance. He induced 14 swings and misses and retired 18 of the 23 batters he faced.
But regardless of Wheeler’s intentions, he didn’t let the interaction rattle him. He induced a groundout from Mauricio Dubon to end the inning and allowed his one walk in the bottom of the sixth. A sac fly from J.T. Realmuto scored another run two batters later. Houston native Kody Clemens hit his second home run of the season in the sixth — with his father, Roger, watching in the crowd — and Alec Bohm and Jake Cave tacked on two runs with an RBI double and an RBI single, respectively.
