After burning through 11 relievers in two games, the Phillies could use a quality start in Game 5. That’s where their ace comes in.
Zack Wheeler will get the start in Game 5 for the Phillies, looking to take a 3-2 series lead back to Citizens Bank Park.PHOENIX — When the Diamondbacks’ Alek Thomas launched a pinch-hit, game-tying home run to right-center field in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series on Friday night, Chase Field became something it hasn’t been this postseason. It became hostile. It became loud. It wasn’t Citizens Bank Park-loud — but it was louder than it has been in recent memory..
The same cannot be said of the Phillies. This is a team with a payroll north of $200 million that was dubbed World Series favorites not so long ago. But after back-to-back losses in Games 3 and 4, that is now in question. Arizona could take a 3-2 series lead on Saturday.It’s not an easy spot for a starting pitcher, but if the Phillies have any saving grace, it is that their ace,, will take the mound in Game 5.
The Diamondbacks defended the pool from the Phillies after feeling that ‘a lot of people wrote us off’ “It’s whatever they want, at the end of the day,” Wheeler said on Friday night. “I’m going to go out there and pitch the best I can, and as deep as I can.
