PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Zack Wheeler pitched no-hit ball for 7 1/3 innings, Brandon Marsh homered and the Philadelphia Phillies extended their winning streak to five by beating the struggling Chicago White Sox 9-5 on Saturday night. Wheeler (1-3) didn’t give up a hit until rookie Korey Lee’s one-out single on a hard grounder into right field that just eluded diving first baseman Bryce Harper. The 33-year-old right-hander struck out eight, walked two and allowed no runs while throwing 75 of 106 pitches for strikes. Manager Rob Thomson said Wheeler’s cutoff was 120 pitches, which would have matched his career high, and the right-hander aimed to be more efficient in the later innings. “I told J.T. I was going to try to get some quicker outs those next couple of innings and try to go for it,” Wheeler said of catcher J.T. Realmuto. “Didn’t happen. At the end of the day, it’s a good start. It was a good day.” |
