Wheeler strikes out 6, Phillies top Nationals 4-2 for MLB-best 32nd victory

Associated Press  

PHILADELPHIA — Zack Wheeler bailed out a stretched-out bullpen and struck out six over 7 1/3 innings, and the Philadelphia Phillies continued their scorching start with a 4-2 victory over the Washington Nationals on Friday night. Wheeler improbably went 0-3 over his first four starts — and the Phillies lost all four games — before he resumed his spot as one of the best pitchers in baseball. On a gorgeous night for baseball — a rare warm home game that Wheeler credited to an uptick in velocity to 98 mph early — and with a stadium that sold out early in part because of a Bryson Stott bobblehead promotion, Wheeler and the Phillies were never in serious danger against the overmatched Nationals. Offensively, we need to start creating some longer innings, staring hitting balls hard, start putting balls in play.” TRAINER’S ROOM Nationals first baseman/designated hitter Joey Gallo was activated from the 10-day injured list and fielder Trey Lipscomb was optioned to Triple-A Rochester.
