Zack Wheeler Dazzles With Seven No-Hit Innings For Huge Rebound
11 months agoPhiladelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler threw 7 1/3 terrific innings against the Detroit Tigers on Thursday. The 33-year-old had a no-hit bid through seven frames, striking out eight batters and accruing one unearned run. Wheeler couldn't nab the win as Philly walked it off for a 3-2 triumph. It's a massive bounce-back after his seven-run mess last weekend against the Washington Nationals. Wheeler has been extremely volatile in 2023, having let in one run or less in five appearances. The right-hander has also allowed four runs or greater in five other showings with two quality starts mixed in. Wheeler seeks some consistency against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday at Chase Field, a ballpark he has a crooked 6.82 ERA over 13 2/3 innings at since 2019. The former All-Star checks almost every box on Statcast, so Wheeler remains one of the top pitching options on any particular slate he participates in.
