Zack Wheeler rebounds, Phillies hot in August

The Phillies swept the Angels in Anaheim on Sunday, following a huge grand slam with two outs in the ninth inning on Friday and another comeback victory on Saturday.

They got a promising start from Zack Wheeler on Sunday. Is he back? “I’m still not out of it,” Wheeler said. But he certainly pitched better than he had lately. He helped the Phillies improve to 20-7 in August, which is the best record in baseball. They are third in baseball in runs this month. They are first in batting average. They are third in OPS. They are third in ERA. Maybe they’re peaking at the right time with the postseason a month away.

We also talk about Andrew Painter’s wild start on Friday and more.
