Zack Wheeler pitched seven innings in the Phillies’ sixth straight win, 5-2, completing the sweep of the Rangers.
It was just another Throwback Thursday down at One Phillies Way, with the players and staff wearing the retro powder blue unis from the 1970s and 1980s.
“I think it’s a new school/old school thing. Back in the day you went seven to nine innings and it was a great start. I came up, I guess, at the end of that time and I guess that’s just my mentality. I don’t know if me doing that and saying that has rubbed off on other guys. I’m sure it’s just a pride thing, also. It’s saving our bullpen for later in the season when it really counts. It’s just a cool thing to do, to go deep in the game and pitch well at the same time.
They won Thursday in part because Edmundo Sosa, White Merrifield and Cristian Pache all contributed from the bottom of the batting order, because Nick Castellanos is showing signs of coming off out his season-long slump that included a home run in the finale of the homestand and because J.T. Realmuto homered to extend his hitting streak to 13 games, tying his career high.
