Zack Wheeler fanned 13 while limiting the Marlins to two runs over seven innings in the Phillies’ 7-2 victory Friday.
Eric Wagaman’s homer in the sixth did the damage, as Wheeler continued his streak of allowing exactly one homer in every start this season. It’s just the second time in his career that Wheeler has struck out so many batters. His high is 14, which he established against the Rays four years ago. Because of the homers, Wheeler’s ERA sits at 3.73, but he has an exceptional 41/6 K/BB in 31 1/3 innings over five starts. He’ll face the Mets next.
Heliot Ramos went 3-for-4 in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Monday.

The three knocks ups his average to .290, and he’s been on fire in the month of May with a .400/.472/,800 slash over his 30 at-bats in that timeframe.
