PHILADELPHIA — \u2014\u00a0Zack Wheeler\u00a0struck out nine in six scoreless innings of two-hit ball,\u00a0Gabriel Rincones Jr. homered for his first career hit and the\u00a0Philadelphia Phillies\u00a0defeated the\u00a0Miami Marlins\u00a07-0 on Monday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
J.T. Realmuto\u00a0also went deep and\u00a0Bryce Harper\u00a0had an RBI for Philadelphia, which opened a six-game homestand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Liam Hicks\u00a0had two of Miami\u2019s four hits. The Marlins lost for just the third time in 13 June games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wheeler (6-1) allowed a leadoff single to Hicks to start the contest and then walked\u00a0Otto Lopez\u00a0before fanning four straight batters to set the tone for his evening. The 36-year-old righty lowered his ERA to 2.01 through 10 starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tim Mayza,\u00a0Jonathan Bowlan\u00a0and\u00a0Chase Shugart\u00a0each pitched a scoreless inning of relief to finish the shutout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rincones, playing in his second career game, sent an 84-mph slider from\u00a0Ryan Gusto\u00a0(0-2) into the seats in right field in the second inning to put the Phillies up 1-0. He is in Philadelphia\u2019s lineup after right fielder Adolis Garc\u00eda was placed on the 60-day injured list with a right lat tear. He padded Philadelphia\u2019s lead to 2-0 in the third with a bases-loaded groundout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Realmuto\u2019s two-run drive in the fifth to left field made it 5-0, as he lined a first-pitch slider off Gusto over the wall in left field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gusto allowed five runs on eight hits in 4 2\/3 innings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Phillies’\u00a0Brandon Marsh, who entered with the fourth-highest batting average among big-league qualifiers, went 2 for 5 with a double to up his average to .324.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Philadelphia improved to 30-14 under\u00a0interim manager Don Mattingly. The Phillies entered in second place and eight games back of the\u00a0Atlanta Braves\u00a0in the NL East but holding the second wild-card spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Phillies shortstop\u00a0Trea Turner\u00a0did not play in the eighth inning due to a right wrist contusion after getting hit by a pitch in the sixth inning. Mattingly said after the game that X-rays were negative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
