Phillies Go for Fourth Win in a Row Behind Zack Wheeler

The Philadelphia Phillies (69-46) have found their groove again. Winning three in a row, and four out of their last five, they once again seem to be firing on all cylinders. On Friday, they look to extend their winning streak to four in a row behind their ace.

Zack Wheeler (11-5, 2.77 ERA) will do his best to give the Phillies another quality start. In his last start, he allowed no runs on two hits and one walk while striking out nine in eight innings. This will be Wheeler's second start against the Arizona Diamondbacks (63-53) this season. In his first, he allowed one run on two hits and no walks while striking out eight in seven innings.

Here is how the Phillies will line up on Friday:

1.) DH Kyle Schwarber
2.) SS Trea Turner
3.) 1B Bryce Harper
4.) 3B Alec Bohm
5.) LF Brandon Marsh
6.) C J.T. Realmuto
7.) RF Nick Castellanos
8.) 2B Bryson Stott
9.) CF Johan Rojas

The Diamondbacks will counter with Ryne Nelson (8-6, 4.65 ERA). In his last start, he allowed four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out seven in five innings. Nelson's repertoire includes a four-seam fastball, cutter, changeup, slider, curveball, and sweeper. He leans heavily on his four-seam fastball, throwing it 54.4 percent of the time and in 19.1 percent of put away situations.

Here is how the Diamondbacks will line up on Friday:

1.) RF Corbin Carroll
2.) LF Jake McCarthy
3.) DH Joc Pederson
4.) 1B Josh Bell
