"I was a little out of whack," aku Wheeler. "Some pitches didn't get where they needed to be, especially against this kind of lineup.

It's just the combo of being out of whack and pitches not going where I want, but against a good lineup, they're going to hit it."

Empat pemukul Dodgers, yaitu Freddie Freeman, Max Muncy, Shohei Ohtani, dan Will Smith, berturut-turut mencetak home run solo.

Hal itu membuat Wheeler frustrasi.

"It's baseball," sebut Wheeler. "It's a weird sport when things happen.

Sometimes you feel out of whack and you do well. Sometimes you don't.

Just little frustrations, all. Just a good lineup, a good team.

You want to come in here and do well against them."

Wheeler baru bisa keluar dari tekanan pada inning keenam. Ia melakukan sembilan lemparan tanpa cleansheet sebelum ditarik keluar.

"It was good, feeling like I should, leaving that outing," ungkap Wheeler. "That was the only good part of it."

Wheeler merasa penampilannya secara keseluruhan cukup baik di luar empat kesalahan fatal. "Besides the four home runs, I felt like I did well.

But at the end of the day, I let them up and we lost because of that," tambahnya.

Perlawanan Phillies

Satu-satunya perlawanan berarti dari Phillies datang lewat pukulan home run solo Kyle Schwarber. Pukulan itu sekaligus memecah kebuntuan dari ancaman tanpa hit hingga inning keenam.

"I like our offense," tegas Schwarber. "I know that the results aren't there.

I think we all have the most confidence in each other."
