GDT 5/6/25 Philadelphia Phillies (Wheeler) @ Tampa Bay Rays (Rasmussen)

[EastFallowfield]

Seems like Kerkering has allowed at least 1 run every outing this season, been pretty poor

Looks like 11 scoreless outings, 5 (incl tonight) giving up runs, on his record, I'm sure there are some inherited runners who scored during his outings.

Had 'em all the way, Harry! Nice win in that minor league park, when does the regular season start?

[LoneStarPhan]

Solid opening win in Tampa tonight. Another good game from Wheeler. I'm sure he would have gone another inning if the game were closer. Sadly, the two relief pitchers used tonight each walked a hitter and both ended up scoring. But in each case, they did not blow up and ultimately secured the win.
