What happened
The Philadelphia Phillies are on a nine-game winning streak, with their latest victory coming from a dramatic comeback capped by Kyle Schwarber's walk-off homer. The team's success is notable for its historic nature, with the Phillies achieving a feat not seen since at least 1988.
The streak is complicated by the struggles of their ace pitcher, Zack Wheeler. Wheeler has been performing poorly, allowing four home runs in a recent loss to the Mariners.
This performance marks a significant downturn for Wheeler, who has not experienced such a stretch in years. The Phillies' recent success contrasts sharply with Wheeler's struggles, raising questions about the team's reliance on their ace pitcher.
