Phillies sweep Padres as Zack Wheeler shines in bounce-back start

The Philadelphia Phillies completed a sweep of the San Diego Padres with a 6-4 victory on Thursday, June 4, at home. Zack Wheeler did not allow a hit until the sixth inning and struck out eight batters. The Phillies broke a slump of not scoring more than four runs in a game since May 18. Key offensive contributions included Bryson Stott’s RBI single and a solo home run from Adolis García. In the seventh inning, the Phillies added three runs, responding to a potential Padres comeback after Wheeler surrendered a two-run homer to Manny Machado.
