Philadelphia Phillies probable pitchers & starting lineups vs. San Diego Padres, September 6
All the information you need to know, as the Phillies attempt to win the rubber match in their three-game series versus the Padres in San Diego.
By Paul Taylor
Michael Lorenzen continues to struggle since his first career no-hitter, allowing eight hits, three walks and seven runs (six earned) on Tuesday night. With the offense also limited to just three hits, the result was a 8-0 blanking by the Padres (66-74). Fortunately for the Phillies (76-62), they remain in the top NL Wild Card position and 5.0 games ahead of the chasing pack for a playoff spot. They'll now aim to bounce back in Wednesday's rubber match and look to leave San Diego with a series win.
Probable starting pitchers
- Zack Wheeler (10-6) continues to have a strong season in Philadelphia. While his 3.62 ERA may not necessarily stand out, he also has a 2.97 FIP and 1.067 WHIP which is helped put by being on course for a career-low 4.5 percent walk-rate. In respect of Phillies pitchers, Wheeler leads the way with 3.7 WAR and 18 quality starts in 27 outings. Last time out he allowed five hits and three earned runs in 6.0 innings versus the Brewers, while striking out 10 batters in the process.
- The Padres might be under-performing as a team, but the same does not apply to Michael Wacha (11-2) specifically. He's overcome a shaky first month of the season to become arguably the Paders' second-best member of the rotation. Wacha's 2.85 ERA is on course to be the second-best of his 11-year Major League career, while he has also recorded a 3.86 FIP and 1.118 WHIP. In his previous start against the Giants, he gave up six hits and just two earned runs in 6.0 innings, while also striking out six.
