GDT 8/30/26 Philadelphia Phillies (Wheeler) @ Los Angeles Angels (Kikuchi)

[VoteForKalas]

Hopefully, Wheeler can go 6. With 68 pitches over 4, it may be dicey, but it would do our bullpen good if he can get that done.

Hopefully, Wheeler can go 6.

Well, after 5-2/3 innings, Wheeler is starting to lose command again like he did in the first inning. This should be his last batter one way or the other

Gets the K to end the inning but with over a hundred pitches, he should be finished for today. Wheeler not as sharp today as I'd like, but a good quality start for him. The hitters are being held down by the high ERA lefty.
