Jul 6, 2025; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA; Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Zack Wheeler (45) throws a pitch during the first inning against the Cincinnati Reds at Citizens Bank Park. Mandatory Credit: Eric Hartline-Imagn Images Zack Wheeler threw a dazzling one-hitter with 12 strikeouts as the Philadelphia Phillies nipped the visiting Cincinnati Reds 3-1 on Sunday afternoon.
Bryson Stott hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the eighth inning to help make a winner of Wheeler (9-3), who was named National League Pitcher of the Month for June and picked up right where he left off. The right-hander allowed only a home run to Austin Hays and did not walk a batter in a sparkling individual effort.
With the game tied at 1-1 in the eighth, J.T. Realmuto flared a one-out single against Tony Santillan (1-2). Stott then fell behind 0-2 before battling in a seven-pitch at-bat, capped by a line-drive homer off the facing of the second deck in right field.
Already with 100 pitches, Wheeler came back out for the ninth and struck out Will Benson. He then got Santiago Espinal on a soft liner and TJ Friedl on an easy fly ball to wrap up his fifth career complete game.
Wheeler retired the first 12 hitters he faced until Hays lifted a 3-1 fastball over the wall in right-center field. Wheeler then set down the next three batters, setting the stage for his teammates to tie the score in the fifth.
In that frame, Brandon Marsh walked against Chase Burns with one out. Two batters later, the Reds summoned Sam Moll, who allowed Kyle Schwarber’s RBI double into the right-center field gap.
The Phillies threatened again in the sixth, beginning with singles against Scott Barlow by Alec Bohm and Nick Castellanos. However, the right-hander struck out three of the next four hitters – all on curveballs – to keep the game tied at 1-1.
Wheeler breezed through the seventh and the Phillies made some noise in the bottom half, to no avail. Graham Ashcroft struck out Castellanos with two runners on to end that threat.
Wheeler again retired the side in order in the eighth, punctuated by an inning-ending strikeout of Tyler Stephenson to set the stage for Stott’s heroics.
Making his third career start, Burns allowed one run and two hits over 4 2/3 innings. He walked four and struck out seven, throwing 91 pitches.

‘Deep sea diver’ Norrie brushes off Wimbledon sportsmanship row
What would you be if you weren't a 'enter current profession'? Were Cam Norrie not a tennis player, he might well be exploring the depths of the ocean.For now he can afford to stick to life on the court, where the Brit just sealed his spot in the Wimbledon quarter-finals after toppling the big-serving Nicolas Jarry in a dogged five-set four-hour epic on Sunday. Norrie looked on course to cruise through to the second week at the All England Club as he claimed the opening two sets, only for an inspired Jarry to unearth his baseline ferocity on the way to winning the next two to send the match to a decider.So often advertisements of the Norrie threat are built around not only the finesse of his left arm, but so too an unrelenting will power and work ethic. The […]
Hussain: England in need of ‘special’ Archer but it’s a gamble
Nasser Hussain fears England's Test series with India may have "shifted in India's favour" with the hosts' heavy defeat in the second Test at Edgbaston and hopes the return of "special" Jofra Archer could provide a spark.It is expected Archer will appear in his first Test match in four years in the third Test at Lord's on Thursday - live on Sky Sports Cricket from 10am - while Gus Atkinson has also been called up to the squad ahead of an anticipated return. Hussain believes it could be a "gamble" for both to play, but given the struggles of England's seamers across the first two Tests, in which India have scored 1,849 runs, it might be one they're willing to take.

Big decisions backfire and pay off as India draw level with England
Decisions.A couple of huge ones were made at Edgbaston and they were revealed at the toss. England had elected to bowl and India had elected to rest pace ace Jasprit Bumrah. As these big calls were digested, the mood music was that India had got theirs wrong. Ravi Shastri was virtually apoplectic at the tourists giving Bumrah a breather despite heading into the game 1-0 down. Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player Ravi Shastri was left surprised by India's decision to leave out Jasprit Bumrah at Edgbaston - but it paid off in the end England's choice was more widely accepted.Yes, bowling first on flat decks is not altogether conventional but it worked at Headingley - Stokes' side successfully chasing 371, after conceding 450-plus in India's first innings, as the pitch failed to deteriorate.

Mauricio Pochettino Rips ‘Embarrassing’ Missed Penalty Call In Gold Cup Final Loss
Doug McIntyre Soccer Journalist <!--> HOUSTON — U.S. men’s national team coach Mauricio Pochettino slammed the officiating in the Americans’ 2-1 loss to Mexico in Sunday’s Gold Cup final, saying his side should have been awarded a penalty kick in the second half.Pochettino felt that Mexico defender Jorge Sánchez handled the ball inside his penalty area in the 67th minute, and replays clearly showed Sánchez put his hand on top of the ball."I want to tell the truth," Pochettino said during his post-match press conference. "And the truth was that if that happened in the other box, for sure it’s a penalty. The player [had] a knee on the floor. He pushed the hand over the ball. It’s not that the hand was on the floor and the ball touched [Sánchez]."ADVERTISEMENT -->The USMNT opened the scoring in the fourth minute, […]
