Daily News | Phillies held to just two hits in 1-0 loss to Cleveland Guardians, their fourth straight
CLEVELAND — As inning after inning went by on Saturday night, it became clear that this game was going to come down to the slimmest of margins.starter Zack Wheeler and Guardians starter Tanner Bibee hadn’t allowed any runs — or much hard contact, with just three total hits — through the first five innings.
But in the sixth, the Guardians found an edge. Wheeler was pitching with two outs and Amed Rosario on first base. Jose Ramirez popped a ball up to right-center field. It should have been caught, but the outfielders were playing too deep and didn’t react quickly enough. The ball dropped between Bryson Stott,Wheeler didn’t let things unravel from there. He allowed another single, and then induced a lineout by Josh Bell to end the sixth.
Wheeler was commanding the ball as well as he has all year. Of the 109 pitches he threw, 77 were strikes. He ran his pitch count up in that sixth inning. Had that Ramirez pop-up been caught, he would’ve thrown 18 pitches that inning. Instead, he threw 26.
