RECAP: Game 1 NLDS – Phillies waste Wheeler's latest epic October start

Oh, boy.Phillies ace Zack Wheeler had another start that further established himself as one of the best postseason pitchers in baseball history, but it’s difficult to win when the offense can’t string together a couple hits in a row. That’s exactly what happened in the Phillies’ 6-2 loss to the Mets in Game 1 of the 2024 National League Division Series at Citizens Bank Park. Wheeler allowed one hit in seven scoreless innings, but the Phillies managed just one hit between Kyle Schwarber’s leadoff homer and the eighth inning. And by that time the Phillies two most trusted relievers (Jeff Hoffman and Matt Strahm) turned a 1-0 lead into a 5-1 deficit.Ruben, Jim and Todd break down a thoroughly disappointing Game 1, and discuss what needs to happen to even the series in Game 2.You can watch this episode and others on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ThePhilliesShowKeep up with the show here:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thephilliesshow/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thephilliesshowX: https://twitter.com/thephilliesshowThreads: https://www.threads.net/@thephilliesshowFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559185425483The Phillies Show is part of the Foul Territory Network.
