“Unraveling the Crucial Blunder: Rojas and Sosa Reveal the Hidden Tensions Behind Wheeler’s Costly Defeat for the Phillies”
The Braves took the lead and won it in the seventh when Orion Kerkering couldn’t find his command. Kerkering’s first four appearances had been scoreless, and regardless of this result he’s probably already leapfrogged the struggling Jordan Romano in the Phillies’ bullpen hierarchy.
Most assumed Tuesday’s series opener would be a pitchers’ duel between Chris Sale and Wheeler, the National League Cy Young winner and runner-up from a season ago. Sale didn’t have much, though, failing to make it out of the fifth inning. He was victimized by Schwarber and Nick Castellanos in particular. Combined, they went 6-for-6 off him with a homer, triple and two doubles.
