Zack Wheeler Dominates Padres in Bounce-Back Victory

Zack Wheeler (5-1) delivered a dominant performance in Thursday's win over the Padres, allowing two runs on two hits and three walks while striking out eight over seven innings. Wheeler relied heavily on his fastball to rebound from previous outings, keeping the Padres hitless until the sixth inning. His excellence on the mound was instrumental in the Phillies' series sweep, providing a much-needed boost as the offense broke the four-run threshold for the first time since May 18.
