00:00For the Phillies Zach Wheeler makes his first start of the season.

00:04Season number two in Phillies pinstripes Wheeler last year was terrific a 2-9-2 ERA in his

00:10eleven starts and he'll go to work against the Braves here this afternoon.

00:15Ronald Acuna had a very good opening day.

00:18Swing and a miss.

00:19A hundred miles an hour one out here in the first.

00:22A hundred at the letters you're not going to catch up with that.

00:25What a way that'll bring up Ozzie Albies.

00:28To the end of the left center fields.

00:30It's not deep playable for McCutcheon and he makes the catch two outs.

00:35Freddie Freeman on opening day was 0 for 4 with a walk back toward the middle.

00:40Knocked down by Wheeler and the pop of his glove he corrals it and the inning is over.

00:46That's a quick first inning 13 pitches we're on to the bottom of the first.

00:50Charlie Morton who makes his return to the Braves pitching for Atlanta after signing a one year

00:56deal in the offseason.

00:58Atlanta being the team that originally drafted Charlie Morton and brought him to the big leagues

01:03for the first time all the way back in 2008.

01:07The pitch to McCutcheon is on the ground.

01:10And Andrew with a backhanded stab.

01:12One pitch and one out.

01:14McCutcheon's retired for out number one.

01:16Works to Reese Hoskins here.

01:18On the ground Riley's got a big hop and a strong throw to first takes care of Hoskins.

01:24Two ground ball outs.

01:25Two down there's Bryce Harper.

01:27As Bryce Harper goes after the first pitch and whacks that past Freddie Freeman.

01:31Acuna got to it quickly.

01:32360 spin.

01:33His throw headed towards second and Bryce Harper is going to be tagged out.

01:37Great play by Acuna to hustle to the corner.

01:40And he's able to throw out Bryce Harper who tried to stretch a single into a double.

01:45Wow, that was a great bit of work in right field.

01:48No score.

01:49Marcelo Zuno will lead off for Atlanta.

01:51Swing and a miss.

01:5298.

01:53Second strikeout for Wheeler.

01:55Ball really moving.

01:56It's hard to believe you can throw that hard and make the ball sink like that.

02:01Ground ball over to third.

02:02Bone stays down on it.

02:04In time to get Austin Riley.

02:08No runs.

02:09One hit.

02:10And a man left.

02:11A couple strikeouts for Wheeler through two.

02:13Charlie goes to work versus Romuto.

02:16Shot the other way.

02:17A base hit for Romuto.

02:18Third hit of the season.

02:20That brings Alec Baum to the plate.

02:22Baum on the ground.

02:23Dansby, tricky hop.

02:24Feeds Ozzie for one.

02:26And in plenty of time for the double play.

02:28So there's the sinker for Charlie Morton.

02:30Ground ball specialty.

02:32Two for the price of one.

02:33Charlie Morton threw two innings.

02:35One strikeout.

02:35Three singles.

02:36And that'll bring up Zach Wheeler.

02:383-2 pitch.

02:39Got him.

02:40Swung on a miss.

02:41Good fastball.

02:42The tailed away.

02:43Second strikeout out of Morton.

02:44Back to the top of the order to McCutcheon as Charlie's in search of his first 1-2-3 inning.

02:48Swung on and missed.

02:49Got a fastball by him upstairs.

02:51Had a 1-2-3 inning out of Morton.

02:54He has three strikeouts thus far.

02:55One down now for Bryce Harper.

02:57Harper's singled back in the first inning, but he decided to test the arm of Ronald Acuna

03:01and probably wishes he had.

03:02As Ozzie diving play from the grass.

03:05Robs Harper at a hit.

03:06Good play.

03:07Charlie Morton's going to love seeing that all summer long.

03:10And just like that, he set down six in order.

03:13Zach Wheeler to face Travis Darnot to get it started here in the fifth.

03:17And called.

03:17Strike three.

03:18Slider on the outside part of the plate.

03:21Five strikeouts for Zach Wheeler.

03:23Here's the 2-2 pitch to Swanson.

03:25Swing and a miss.

03:26It's 99 on a fastball.

03:28Six strikeouts for Wheeler.

03:31And a called.

03:32Strike three.

03:32Went with the slider and he got him looking.

03:34Seven strikeouts for Zach Wheeler.

03:37The Phillies will have runners on first and second.

03:40Two outs here in the fifth.

03:41Best threat of the day by either side.

03:44Well, you like your chances with Wheeler.

03:45See if Zach Wheeler can help himself here.

03:47But he loops one out to center field.

03:49That's a base hit.

03:50It passed the diving Albies.

03:52Segura's going to score.

03:54RBI single for Wheeler.

03:56And the Phillies are on top.

03:57One to nothing.

03:58That's why the hit batsman was oh so costly.

04:03Ball four.

04:04And all this trouble with two out.

04:05And the bases will be loaded for Reese Hoskins.

04:09Broken bat looper.

04:10Down the left field line.

04:11That's in for a base hit.

04:12It's a two-run double.

04:14And the Phillies are on top.

04:16Three nothing.

04:16They're not hitting it hard.

04:18But they're hitting them where we ain't.

04:19Zach Wheeler's got a lead now.

04:20Three nothing as we start the sixth inning.

04:23Swing and a miss.

04:24Ninety-eight.

04:26Eight strikeouts for Wheeler.

04:28He's retired.

04:28Thirteen in a row.

04:31Back toward the middle.

04:32Right at Segura.

04:34This will be four-three on the putout.

04:36That's fourteen straight retired by Zach Wheeler.

04:40He's been dominant today.

04:42Eight strikeouts through six.

04:43So, two free passes in the walk in the hit batsman.

04:48It'll leave it up to Zach Wheeler.

04:50Big hit in the fifth inning.

04:51Gave the Phillies a one-nothing lead.

04:52Let's see if he does it here.

04:54Line drive down the left field line.

04:56That's a base hit.

04:57Going to the corner.

04:58One run is in.

05:00It's an RBI double for Zach Wheeler.

05:03He's doing it all.

05:04He has more hits than the Braves do.

05:07Four-nothing Phillies.

05:08Bases are loaded for the second straight at bat for Reese Hoskins.

05:14Breaking ball struck him out.

05:17And Reese Hoskins thought that ball was up.

05:19Reese has been calling it up there all game long.

05:21Braves only have one hit off Zach Wheeler who's been brilliant today.

05:25He has retired 14 in a row.

05:27To the right side again.

05:28Segura gobbles it up.

05:31And throws out all these.

05:32That's 15 straight retired by Zach Wheeler.

05:36And it brings Freddie Freeman to the plate.

05:39Swing and a miss.

05:40Strikeout number nine.

05:43And that's 16 in a row.

05:46The 90th pitch of the day.

05:48Swing and a miss.

05:50Number nine.

05:52As far as double-digit strikeout games.

05:55Do they know that it's three outs?

05:57The inning is over.

05:59Ten strikeouts.

06:01Seventeen consecutive hitters.

06:03He wanted to keep on going.

06:06It's been that kind of day.

06:08During the course of Zach Wheeler's career.

06:10He has never had an outing where he's allowed only one hit.

06:14And what a line for Wheeler.

06:15Seven innings.

06:16One hit.

06:17No walks.

06:18Ten strikeouts.

06:19Hector Neris will come on and work.

06:21As Atlanta has been set down 20 in a row coming into the ninth.

06:26Swing and a miss.

06:27Struck him out on three pitches.

06:29And a called strike three on the outside part of the plate.

06:34A little paint from Hector.

06:37Twenty-two in a row retired by Phillies pitching.

06:41And a called strike three on the inside corner.

06:45Hector Neris has just struck out the side.

06:48And the Phillies pitchers, Zach Wheeler, Archie Bradley, and Hector Neris have combined on a one-hit shutout in game two of the season.

06:58As the Phillies win it 4-0.

07:01Hector Neris has just struck out the whole thing.
