Marlins Face Phillies, KT Wiz Seek Win Against Kiwoom

Philadelphia Phillies ace Zack Wheeler and Miami Marlins ace Sandy Alcantara are both seeking to regain their consistent form as they face off in the opener of a three-game series. Wheeler, who was last year's NL Cy Young runner-up, has struggled with command and velocity in recent starts despite a strong career record against the Marlins. Alcantara, meanwhile, has yet to pitch six full innings in any outing this season and recently returned after missing time for the birth of his daughter. Both pitchers have acknowledged the need to improve their performance and control moving forward. The matchup will also feature several Phillies hitters with strong records against Alcantara.
