After a near no-hitter from Zack Wheeler, the Phillies were down in the top of the ninth before completing a furious walk-off comeback over the Detroit Tigers for their fifth straight win.
Wheeler worked a 1-2 count to Tyler Nevin, who then lined a clean single to right. Thomson immediately popped out of the dugout and waved Seranthony Dominguez in from of the bullpen.
Said Wheeler: “I knew what was going on. I was trying to get in and out of there. Especially as you get a little deeper and you see the pitch count and all that type of stuff. In the eighth inning I was trying to pitch to contact a little bit more than I was the rest of the game just so I could have a better chance of getting out there for the ninth if the occasion arose.”“At least let me go out there, see what I can do,” he said. “Obviously, everybody wants to throw a no-hitter.
Thomson called it “kind of a weird day” because he thought the righthander had good stuff and executed well. “They just barreled him up for some reason,” the manager said with a shrug, adding that the telltale hint for him was that Wheeler got only one swing-and-miss on his fastball.Wheeler began methodically mowing down Tigers hitters on a cool, cloudy evening. After all, the Tigers rank last in baseball in runs scored and lost their best hitter, Riley Greene, a week ago.
