Yes five full innings
yes, 5. But I'm sure they won't call the game quickly. Brewers are entitled to that.

J.T. Realmuto grounds out, second baseman Luis Garcia to first baseman Joey Meneses.
Unless the Phillies blow the lead before then
That is ok. Four runs. Now put Nats down 1-2-3 to complete to complete four innings & get to the fifth inning.
If the Nationals don't score in the 4th, the Phillies should swing at everything in the fifth.
I don't know what Wheeler's pitch limit is today, but it looks like he is going to have a low pitch count today no matter how well he's pitching.
BR, I agree.

Philadelphia Phillies
Washington Nationals
Good stuff.
Ok. Now 3 puts on 9 pitches for us.
I think you suggested this approach last Sunday and it turned out the Phillies couldn't afford to give up even one out in that game after it resumed. You just can't be sure they won't play 9. Thomson said yesterday they could be there "until dark."
Hopefully Wherler can go right back out there & get 3 more outs.
