Preview: Phillies look for 9 wins in a row with Zack Wheeler on the mound at 4:05

The Phillies take the field today at 4:05 against the Arizona Diamondbacks, looking for their 9th win in a row.
Zack Wheeler (4-3, 3.14 ERA) will get the ball for the Phillies, going up against Madison Bumgarner (2-5, 3.64 ERA).
The hot bats continued for the Fightins on Friday night, and although the bullpen almost blew the game, Rhys Hoskins saved the night with his second homer of the night, powering the Phillies to a 7-5 win.
Kyle Gibson secured the win, going six innings, allowing three earned runs and striking out four. Although Zac Gallen has been successful this season, he got beat up last night, going just 1.2 innings, allowing four earned runs.
I sound like a broken record, but it’s the truth…will the Phillies ever lose again? The vibes are high, CBP is rockin’ night in and night out, and the Phils are HOT.
