Wheeler (8-4) allowed five hits and a walk
while striking out five batters as the Phillies won for the
sixth time in their last eight games. This was the sixth time
this season Wheeler didn't allow a run.
He has thrown 14 scoreless innings against the Cardinals this
season. In his previous start against them on July 3, Wheeler
allowed just four hits and a walk in a 4-0 victory.
Seranthony Dominguez dispatched the Cardinals in the eighth and
Brad Hand closed out the ninth inning to earn his fourth save.
Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright (6-7) threw a
complete game while allowing the two runs on five hits and no
walks. This was the ninth time this season that Wainwright
allowed two earned runs or fewer in a start.
But the slumping Cardinals lost for the seventh time in their
last nine games.
Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado hit two-out singles for the
Cardinals in the first inning before Nolan Gorman grounded out
to end the threat.
The Cardinals got two-out singles from Gorman and Dylan Carlson
in the fourth inning before Wheeler struck out Tommy Edman to
strand them.
Wainwright held the Phillies to two hits in the first five
innings, but then Bohm led off the sixth inning with a homer
over the center field wall.
Arenado hit a two-out single in the sixth inning and moved to
second on a balk. Wheeler walked Gorman, but he struck out
Carlson to strand two more runners.
With two outs in the eighth inning, Bohm hit his second homer,
this time to left, to put the Phillies up 2-0.
