Phillies Turn Heads with Zack Wheeler Post on Thursday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Philadelphia Phillies continue to battle the New York Mets for the top spot in the National League East. Entering Thursday, the Phillies hold a two-game lead in the standings.

Wheeler posted a 0.58 ERA in five June starts. “I’m not sure if I’ve had a pitcher, whether I’m coaching or managing, that has had a month like that,” said Rob Thomson.

Considering his stature as one of baseball’s best pitchers and the fact this year’s All-Star Game is in his hometown of Atlanta, Wheeler would make sense as a potential All-Star Game starter.
