Wheeler Shines, Stott Homers as Phillies Hold Off Marlins for Fourth Straight Win

Zack Wheeler's return is stabilizing the Phillies' rotation under interim manager Don Mattingly.

Overview

  • The 6-5 win in Miami on Friday pushed Philadelphia to four straight victories under interim manager Don Mattingly.
  • Zack Wheeler struck out eight and allowed one run over six innings in his second start since last September's blood‑clot shoulder surgery.
  • Bryson Stott hit his first home run of the season, a three‑run shot in the seventh that stretched the lead to 6-1.
  • A taxed bullpen gave up three runs in the eighth and another in the ninth before Brad Keller recorded his first save.
  • Rookie Andrew Painter was moved to start Saturday, and Trea Turner was out of Friday's starting lineup at shortstop.
