Sometimes, you need a little luck. In the ninth and 10th innings of the Phillies’ 2-1 walk-off win over the visiting Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday, they got it.
The Phillies had gotten some luck in the ninth inning, too. They entered the inning trailing 1-0. Harper led off with a line single to center field. The next batter, Nick Castellanos, fouled off five pitches. One of them — a foul pop-up on the first base side — nearly was caught. . Instead, with three Blue Jays sprinting toward it, the ball dropped onto the grass. Castellanos reached base on an infield single when second baseman Santiago Espinal’s throw pulled first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
Aaron Nola and Taijuan Walker haven’t been consistent, either. But in Wednesday’s win, Wheeler provided a few reasons for optimism. His average fastball velocity was slightly up, from 95.8 to 96.2 mph. Even when it started to drop, his command remained sharp. Above all, Wheeler was able to pitch deeper into any game he has this season. He went seven innings, allowing three hits, one run and one walk with seven strikeouts.
