Kyle Schwarber helped the Phillies overcome an early deficit and Zack Wheeler settled in for his sixth straight quality start in a series-opening win over Washington. CSeidmanNBCS of NBCSPhilly has the recap:
Zack Wheeler was not sharp Tuesday afternoon to begin a doubleheader against the Nationals but Kyle Schwarber supplied more than enough power to boost the Phillies to a comeback win.
His second home run nullified a decision by third base coach Dusty Wathan to hold Trea Turner on a one-out single by Jake Cave two batters earlier. Nine-hole hitter Johan Rojas had followed Cave by hitting a ground ball to third base that resulted in Turner being cut down at the plate, keeping the game tied with two outs. Within two pitches, it didn't matter because Schwarber sent a high hanger over the heart of the plate out 447 feet to right field to change the game.
Cave added a two-run shot into the bushes past center field in the sixth inning to provide breathing room and help save core relievers for the nightcap. Manager Rob Thomson used Matt Strahm in the seventh and Luis Ortiz — recalled from Triple A as the 27th man for the doubleheader — in the eighth and ninth.
