The Philadelphia Phillies look to stop a two-game losing streak on Tuesday night against the San Francisco Giants.
The Phillies call on Zack Wheeler to play stopper in this case. Wheeler is 3-2 with a 3.80 ERA this season. He is looking to build off of a 7 IP, 3 H, 1 R appearance last week against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Gabe Kapler’s Giants will counter with righty Alex Cobb. The 35-year-old is having one of his best, if not his best, starts to his career. Cobb is 3-1 with a 1.70 ERA on the campaign. He has not allowed more than three earned runs in a start this season.
First pitch is set for 9:45 PM/EDT from the Bay Area.

Where: Oracle Park in San Francisco, CA
First Pitch: 9:45 PM/EDT
