[zambonir]

Whatever is or isn't wrong with Wheeler, the bottom line is this team needs to score 5 runs or more to play .600 baseball. Especially with the defense, no Eflin and a less dominant Nola.

(and maybe the bullpen. knocks wood).

Even aside from the oddity of scoring exactly 7 runs...

This is the first time in 65 years that the Phillies scored 7 or more runs in 5 straight games. @TheGoodPhight https://t.co/EyENxpdVdr

Not sure if Wheeler is a Cy Young winner, but damn if Harper isn’t the MVP.
