The Phillies head to New York to take on the Mets after outscoring the Rockies 32-9 in the series and climbing back to .500.
Jose F. Moreno/ Staff PhotographerJ.T. Realmuto stood up from his crouch after catching the last pitch of the sixth inning Thursday and pointed his mitt at Zack Wheeler. His body language couldn’t have been clearer.For Wheeler? No doubt. In his fourth start of the season, after not pitching a major-league spring training game, the Phillies ace threw six one-hit innings in a 7-1 rocking of the Colorado Rockies. His command wasn’t as precise as usual.
Wheeler didn’t allow a hit until Sam Hilliard’s triple to open the third inning. Even then, he emerged without allowing a run by getting Connor Joe to ground into a double play. Although he could have done without the leadoff walk to Charlie Blackmon in the fourth or the two-out walk to No. 9-hitting Dom Nuñez in the fifth, he maintained his velocity throughout the game.
Not including his solo homer in the fourth inning against Rockies starter Austin Gomber, Bohm had a 28.2% fly-ball rate, up from 24% in his first two major-league seasons. His ground-ball rate, meanwhile, has dipped to 48.7% from 52.9%.
