5/17/24	Wheeler strikes out 6, Phillies top Nationals 4-2 for MLB-best 32nd victory. Zack Wheeler struck out six over 7 1/3 innings and the Philadelphia Phillies continued their scorching start with a 4-2 win over the Washington Nationals on Friday night. Wheeler received a rousing standing ovation when he was lifted with one out in the eighth inning. He allowed two runs and threw 104 pitches to win his fifth straight decision. Wheeler improbably went 0-3 over his first four starts before he resumed his spot as one of the best pitchers in baseball. Alec Bohm and Brandon Marsh each had RBI doubles off Nationals starter Jake Irvin Source: https://www.chron.com/sports/article/wheeler-strik...
5/16/24	Philadelphia Phillies Reportedly Only Viewing Pipeline as Trade Chips. The Philadelphia Phillies are clearly in a World Series window right now. If that wasn't evident by coming two games short of lifting the trophy in 2022 and being on the doorstep of back-to-back appearances last season, then their start which has them sitting with the best record in baseball should make that abundantly clear. From elite pitching that goes beyond their two aces of Zack Wheeler and Aaron Nola, to superstars across their lineup like Bryce Harper, Trea Turner, and Kyle Schwarber, to emerging young players turning into stars of their own, Dave Dombrowski has built a championship-caliber roster. Because of that, there isn't a whole lot of opportunity for players in their farm system to crack the Major League roster. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/phillies/news/philadelphia-...
5/15/24	Philadelphia Phillies Hold Pair of Aces In Latest Cy Young Poll. Zack Wheeler received 19 first-place votes in the poll of MLB.com writers. Los Angeles Dodgers starter Tyler Glasnow was second, followed by the Chicago Cubs' Shota Imanaga and the San Diego Padres' Dylan Cease. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/phillies/news/philadelphia-...
5/14/24	Philadelphia Phillies' Ace Dominates Mets After Harper's Late Scratch. It's been an impressive run for the Philadelphia Phillies where they have dominated virtually every team that has been placed in front of them. What has been the storyline for the Phillies virtually the entire season is how elite their pitching has performed to start the year. As Zack Wheeler, Ranger Suarez, and Spencer Turnbull have dominated in virtually every one of their outings, Philadelphia's high-priced arm, Aaron Nola, hasn't quite found that same level of success to start 2024. While his ERA of 3.67 was nothing to be concerned about, it was still the highest amongst starting pitchers on the Phillies. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/phillies/news/philadelphia-...
5/13/24	Philadelphia Phillies Ace Doesn't Blame Fan Favorite For Poor Outing. With their ace Zack Wheeler on the mound, there was still high confidence they'd be able to close out the lowly Miami Marlins and get a sweep before heading north to face their rival New York Mets. Instead, the Phillies dropped the game in extra innings following an unusually poor outing from the star right-hander. Wheeler was asked what happened and took blame for not being sharp instead of taking the easy route and blaming his performance on backup catcher Garrett Stubbs who was filling in while Realmuto took the day off.

5/12/24	Wheeler out of sync vs. Marlins but avoids excuses after erratic outing. Zack Wheeler was without his primary catcher in J.T. Realmuto on Sunday but didn't use that as an excuse for an erratic start in Miami. "It was on me," he said. Source: https://sports.yahoo.com/wheeler-sync-vs-marlins-a...
5/12/24	Zack Wheeler, Phillies bid to brush aside Marlins. Right-hander Zack Wheeler will vie for his fifth straight win on Sunday afternoon when his Philadelphia Phillies bid to sweep a three-game series against the host Miami Marlins. Garrett is one of six Marlins starting pitchers who have served time on the injured list this season, including 2022 National League Cy Young Award winner Sandy Alcantara and Eury Perez, who are both out for the year.

5/11/24	Philadelphia Phillies Pitcher Joins Hall-of-Famers After Historic Start. There is little doubt that Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Ranger Suárez is the team's most effective starter so far this season. Zack Wheeler is off to a good start and his 1.64 ERA is near Suárez's 1.50. Spencer Turnbull — who just transitioned to the bullpen with the return of Taijuan Walker — has 1.57 ERA seven games, six of which were starts. Per OptaStats, four Major League pitchers in baseball's modern era (since 1901) have a WHIP of 0.72 in their first starts with their team winning all eight.

5/07/24	NL Cy Young odds: Phillies' Zack Wheeler is early runaway favorite. Commercial content 21+. It's not even mid-May yet, and we already have a runaway favorite for the National League Cy Young award. Phillies ace Zack Wheeler has lapped the field after a dominant first month-plus to the 2024 season, putting himself in prime position to win his first Cy Young. Wheeler is +190 to win the award at FanDuel Sportsbook , well ahead of the second-favorite Tyler Glasnow, who is +500. The pair are the only pitchers with odds better than 12/1, indicating that oddsmakers are seeing it shaping up as a two-horse race. Wheeler is coming off a seven-inning, 11-strikeout win over the San Francisco Giants on Monday, which further boosted his already award-worthy numbers.

5/07/24	Phillies haven't played many good teams cause there aren't many. After a four-game sweep of the Giants, culminating in a 5-1 win on Monday powered by Zack Wheeler's seven one-run innings and Bryce Harper's second three-run home run in as many days, the Phillies maintained their status as the best team in baseball. Critics argue the Phils have built their early-season empire on the backs of the dregs of the league. To be fair, the schedule has been kind to the Phillies, as we knew it would be when the schedule dropped a few months ago. Source: https://billypenn.com/2024/05/07/phillies-critics-...

5/03/24	Phillies' Ranger Suarez named National League Pitcher of the Month.

Suarez started 5 games in April for the Phillies and tossed over 40 innings with a 1.32 ERA, while averaging nearly a strikeout per inning. Suarez ranks second among major league starters in ERA (1.32), and holds the best starters' WHIP in the league. Source: https://www.fox29.com/news/phillies-ranger-suarez-...
5/02/24	Phillies ace Zack Wheeler doubles down on favored stance after win vs Angels. The Philadelphia Phillies boast one of Major League Baseball's best starting rotations. The group has accumulated the most fWAR of any starting rotation in the MLB.

The Phillies were able to secure the 2-1 win as the bullpen tossed four scoreless innings, marking the third consecutive win for Wheeler. Source: https://clutchpoints.com/phillies-news-zack-wheele...

Nick Castellanos and Johan Rojas hit the game-tying and go-ahead homers in the ninth inning Tuesday night for the Phillies, who squandered a three-run first-inning lead before coming back to earn a 7-5 win.
