Phillies’ Zack Wheeler Throws 1-Hitter for His First Complete Game Since 2021

PHILADELPHIA, JUL 6 – Wheeler struck out 12 batters and allowed only a leadoff homer to secure the Phillies' series win and maintain their first-place position in the National League.

  • Zack Wheeler pitched a dominant one-hit complete game on July 6, 2025, leading the Phillies to a 3-1 victory against the Cincinnati Reds.
  • Since rejoining the team after his paternity leave in early June, Wheeler had been extremely effective, surrendering just three earned runs over a span of 40 innings before pitching this complete game.
  • The game featured a solo homer by Austin Hays in the fifth inning, a tying RBI double by Kyle Schwarber, and a go-ahead two-run homer by Bryson Stott off Reds reliever Tony Santillan.
  • Wheeler struck out 12 batters, threw 108 pitches without issuing a walk, and Phillies manager Rob Thomson praised Wheeler as "just dominant" and considered a no-hitter possible after the fourth inning.
  • This complete game marked Wheeler's first since 2021, improved his record to 9-2, and positioned him as a candidate for the National League's starting pitcher role while the Phillies prepared for a West Coast swing.
