Zack Wheeler Suffers First Loss of 2026 Season Against Dodgers

Zack Wheeler (4-1) took his first loss of the season in Friday's 2026 series opener against the Dodgers, ending a six-game winning streak. Wheeler surrendered four solo home runs, allowing four runs on five hits and a walk while striking out four over six innings of work. The Phillies' offense provided insufficient support, resulting in a disappointing outing for the veteran right-hander as he struggled against Los Angeles' power hitters.
