The Phillies’ 9-Game Win Streak Is OVER 😱 | Wheeler’s Slump, Nola’s Turnaround & Harper Hits 1,000! The Philadelphia Phillies‘ magical nine-game winning streak came crashing down in Seattle, and it’s Zack Wheeler who’s at the center of it. In this episode, we break down:
🔴 The Losses in Seattle – How the Phillies’ win streak snapped against the Mariners and what it means as they push toward October.
⚾ Zack Wheeler’s Alarming Slide – The ace has a 9.27 ERA over his last five starts and just became the first pitcher in Phillies history to allow 4+ homers and 5+ walks in a single outing. We dig into what’s behind the command issues and whether it’s cause for real concern.
📈 Aaron Nola’s Incredible Turnaround – After a brutal first half (6.04 ERA), Nola has been dominant since early July, posting a 3.63 ERA over his last nine starts. We look at what changed and why he might be exactly what this rotation needs down the stretch.
🏆 Bryce Harper’s 1,000th Hit as a Phillie – Harper became just the 34th player in franchise history — and the first since Ryan Howard in 2011 — to reach 1,000 hits with the club. We celebrate the milestone and check in on his on-base streak.
✈️ What’s Next on the Road Trip – The Phillies continue their nine-game West Coast swing with stops against the Angels and Diamondbacks. Here’s what to watch for as Philly tries to right the ship before heading home. Drop a comment and let us know: is it time to worry about Wheeler, or is this just a rough patch before the playoffs?
