Wheeler aims to give Phils length vs. Braves

Phillies right-hander Zack Wheeler faces the Braves in the second game of a three-game series Saturday night at Truist Park in Atlanta. Wheeler has impressed in his first four starts with the Phillies. He ranks among the game's best in generating weak contact, which has allowed him to reduce his pitch count and pitch deeper into games. The Phillies could use that Saturday with the bullpen struggling. The Braves will counter with left-hander Robbie Erlin in the 7:10 p.m. ET game, and fans can catch all the action live on MLB.TV.
