I was surprised by his ability to regroup and get the last two outs of that inning. I thought Wheeler needed to be pulled, but it worked out OK.

Philadelphia Phillies 3 - Atlanta Braves 2
Classic Phillies, apparently they tried to get him to change some things to see if he could produce like he did in 2023 and he hated the changes went back to what he was used to, and is seeing some (SSS) results. Sounds a bit too much like Nick though (i.e. it didn't last).
Despite the massive losing streak it struck me as moment where they wanted Wheels to pitch through it more than than they wanted to win the game (and that's not a criticism).

The Phillies got a hit with RISP! (An infield hit, but still...)
Harper's been showing some signs of life.
We need a shutdown inning badly.

And the sky could be green. Of course it could have been worse, but it was pretty bad and blew our lead. 36 pitches is not good.
