Daily News | Phillies’ NLCS rotation lines up with Zack Wheeler to start Game 1
’ pitching plans for Game 4 of the National League Division Series, manager Rob Thomson kept it simple.Never mind that Wheeler started Game 2 on Wednesday night, or that he was a possibility to start a potential winner-takes-all Game 5 on short rest Sunday back in Atlanta. If the Phillies needed their ace for a few outs in relief Saturday, they were ready to call on him.
But Game 4 was always going to be trickier. For days, the Phillies talked about how they might approach it. They settled on Noah Syndergaard as the starter, even thought he hadn’t made a start since Oct. 1. Thomson said he would’ve been “really happy” with three innings from Syndergaard. That’s exactly what he got.
“I’m doing everything they tell me to,” Robertson said. “I want to be active. I didn’t play all these games this year just to sit out and only get one appearance.” It’s not clear whether Robertson can be ready by the start of the NLCS. He’s a key member of the late-inning bullpen mix, with Domínguez, Alvarado, and Eflin.When J.T. Realmuto’s third-inning drive banged off the wall in left-center field and rolled halfway across the outfield, Braves right fielder Ronald Acuña Jr. wasn’t backing up the play. Center fielder Michael Harris II had to retrieve the ball, enabling Realmuto to score on an inside-the-park home run.
