Rincones' First Career Hit Is a Homer! Phillies Blank the Marlins 7-0 as Wheeler Fans Nine

Phillies 7, Marlins 0 at Citizens Bank Park, and Philadelphia comes home off a .500 road trip to throw a shutout at Miami. Zack Wheeler sets the tone with six scoreless, two hits, three walks, and nine strikeouts, and the bullpen of Tim Mayza, Jonathan Bowlan, and Chase Shugart finishes the blanking. The night belongs to a debut: Gabriel Rincones Junior, up from Jersey Shore, takes a hack in the second and his first career hit is a home run to right, and he drives in two. J.T. Realmuto adds a two-run shot to left in the fifth, his fifth of the year. Justin Crawford keeps cooking with three hits and a steal, Edmundo Sosa knocks two, and Bohm and Harper each cash a sac fly. With two balls in the seats on an open-air June night, the show brings in Dr. Jürgen Luftberg to sort the weather ball from the muscle. Trea Turner takes a pitch off the body in the sixth and exits in the eighth as a precaution. Philadelphia climbs to thirty-nine and thirty-three, holds a game and a half in the wild card, and stays seven and a half back of Atlanta. The Mets, for the record, got spanked.
