Zack Wheeler Fans 7 Straight to Open Game, Bryson Stott Hits Tiebreaking RBI Single as Phillies Beat Brewers

  • On Tuesday, Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler reached 2,000 career strikeouts against the Milwaukee Brewers, striking out 11 batters in 5 2/3 innings. Wheeler became the 96th player in MLB history to achieve this milestone.
  • This milestone follows Wheeler's 2025 surgery to remove a rib for venous thoracic outlet syndrome, an injury that ended his previous season. He returned to the mound this April, capped at 90 pitches.
  • Bryson Stott delivered a tiebreaking RBI single in the eighth inning, guiding the Philadelphia Phillies to a 6-4 victory. Brandon Marsh homered and drove in three runs for Philadelphia.
  • The victory lowered Philadelphia's magic number to two for clinching a postseason berth. Milwaukee dropped to 13-6 this month, missing an opportunity to extend its franchise record for wins.
  • Wednesday night's matchup features Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola opposing Brewers right-hander Logan Henderson at Citizens Bank Park. The three-game series continues in the second game.
