The Phillies couldn't get their bats going behind Zack Wheeler's good outing.
TORONTO — Zack Wheeler hasn’t always looked like Zack Wheeler this season, but he did in the’ 2-1 loss to the Blue Jays on Tuesday. Facing a Blue Jays lineup that ranks fifth in baseball in batting average , sixth in on-base percentage and ninth in OPS , he allowed just three hits and one run and four balls that qualified as hard-hit.
Kikuchi allowed a single and a forceout in the fifth, Wheeler pitched a 1-2-3 frame after that, and in the sixth, they both allowed a run. With no outs, Sosa hit his second single of the day to get on base, and Johan Rojas, who is batting .308 over 24 games this season, drove him home with an RBI double.
“I thought his sinker was really good,” manager Rob Thomson said of Wheeler. “He ran it in on the right handers and got a lot of soft contact. I thought he changed speeds behind in the count and kept them off balance. I know he walked four guys but for the most he was throwing strikes. So I was really happy with his start.”
