"Philly Crowd Ignites Wheeler's Game 1 Performance"

Zack Wheeler credits the electric atmosphere and adrenaline of the Philadelphia crowd for helping him reach a higher level in Game 1 of the MLB playoffs, as the Phillies defeated the Marlins 4-1. The crowd's energy and support propelled Wheeler to pitch a gem into the seventh inning, while the Phillies' offense and bullpen delivered a solid performance. Wheeler, who has been a top-five starting pitcher in baseball since joining the Phillies, has excelled in postseason play with a 2.58 ERA and 0.73 WHIP in seven starts. He hopes people appreciate his contributions, but he sees it as simply doing his job.
