Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm encourages pitcher Zack Wheeler during the sixth inning on Wednesday.ATLANTA — As Ronald Acuña Jr. crouched down on the grass behind home plate and clutched at his right elbow, and as the sold-out crowd rained invective down upon theIt was all the ace could do to stay locked in.
“Not at all,” said Wheeler, hardly the type for distractions or excuses. “I don’t think anything really knocks you out of your rhythm unless it’s like a 10-minute delay maybe. I was just staying there, not really worried about what was happening. Threw my pitches that I needed to throw, warmups or whatever you want to call them. I just didn’t execute when the time came.”“We won,” Acuña said. “Everything feels good.
Wheeler fielded Riley’s slow roller but held the ball rather than risking an errant throw to first base and starting what he termed a “merry-go-round” on the bases. Wheeler mislocated another slider to Braves catcher Travis d’Arnaud, his close friend and former teammate in the New York Mets organization, and it went through the middle and into center field for an RBI single.
