PHILLIES POSTCAST: Padres take Wheeler for FOUR runs, Phillies lose, 5-4

Jackson Merrill had himself a day hitting TWO homers off Zack Wheeler as the Phillies fall to the Padres, 5-4! Zack Wheeler allowed four runs on six hits and one walk over his six innings of work striking out six. Wheeler has certainly had better days, but his big Achilles’ heel in this game was Jackson Merrill. The Padres center fielder had not hit a home run since May 27th, but today, he took Wheeler deep TWICE! Both homers came on fast balls. Merrils’ second home run, tied the game at four in the 6th inning and took the chance away for Wheeler’s 15th quality start of the season. When Wheeler's night was done, Tanner Banks came in and allowed a pair of one out hits, then he gave way to Jordan Romano who surrendered a sac fly RBI to Manny Machado that was the difference in the game. Edmundo Sosa replaced an injured Alec Bohm and Sosa came up with a big hit in the 5th inning. With the Phillies trailing 3-2, Sosa smacked a bases loaded two-out single into left field, bringing two runs in for a 4-3 Phillies lead. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
