The Philadelphia Phillies took two L’s last night, losing to the Washington Nationals and losing Tyler Anderson to the Seattle Mariners. Tough combo.

Phillies vs Nationals Pitching Matchup

Tonight’s matchup should be far more interesting than last night’s mediocre matchup, as Phillies ace Zack Wheeler takes the mound against Patrick Corbin.

Wheeler has a 2.37 ERA this season and is having the best season of his career. Since the beginning of June, he has a 2.18 ERA over 9 starts and has struck out 68 batters over 57 2/3 innings. He’s scuffled a bit in July but is coming off a bounce-back start of seven innings of one-run ball. Hopefully, he can pick up where he left off last week.

Corbin, meanwhile, has a 5.71 ERA (currently the worst mark of his nine-year career) over 19 starts. He’s only had one scoreless appearance all season, and has allowed three or more earned runs in 13 of his starts this season. The Phillies should be able to knock him around for a few innings tonight.

It’s worth noting that while Corbin has been giving up an alarming amount of runs this season, he’s still better than most Phillies arms in that he’s able to go deeper into games than most of their starters; he’s thrown five or more innings in 15 of his starts, and at least four in all but one game in April.
