JUST IN;’ The Phillies sent a heart felt condolence message to Bryce Harper regarding his mother, Sherilyn Harper..
Kyle Schwarber started the game with a home run, and Zack Wheeler pitched eight scoreless innings as the Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Seattle Mariners 6-0 on Sunday.
Bryson Stott, Bryce Harper, and Alec Bohm also hit home runs during a five-run eighth inning, giving the Phillies extra runs and ending their six-game losing streak. Schwarber added a double and a single for a three-hit day.
Wheeler (11-5) allowed only two hits and struck out nine in his longest game of the season. He only let one runner get past first base, when Cal Raleigh hit a double off the wall in the first inning.
“I knew today we needed a win, so I just had that mindset. And I was able to do it,” Wheeler said. “I feel like we got quicker outs today, so that obviously allowed me to go deeper into the game and that’s what we needed.”
