Zack Wheeler pitches 7 innings in the Phillies' 7-0 victory over the Nationals
WASHINGTON (AP) --- Zack Wheeler pitched seven scoreless innings, Alec Bohm
went 2 for 2 with an RBI and three of Philadelphia's season-high 13 walks, and
the Phillies beat the Washington Nationals 3-0 on Wednesday night.
Wheeler (13-5) allowed four hits, walked one and had four strikeouts. Jhoan
Duran had two strikeouts in a 1-2-3 ninth for his 31st save this season.
Arraez hit an RBI double in the seventh inning and also walked three times. The
Phillies are fighting the Chicago Cubs for the first NL wild-card spot.
Washington had its four-game win streak snapped and lost at home for just the
third time in its last 12. The Nationals (71-82) clinched their seventh
consecutive losing season since they went 93-69 and won the World Series in
2019.
Jared Simpson made his first career start and, after Kyle Schwarber lined out
to lead off the game, walked Trea Turner, Bryce Harper and Arraez to load the
bases. Bohm singled to drive in Turner and Harper scored when Bryson Stott
walked to make it 2-0. Riley Cornelio replaced Simpson (1-1) and got J.T.
Realmuto to strike out swinging before Brandon Marsh flied out to end the
inning.
