About this listen

Michael Hennelly recaps a wild first half of the 2025 season for the Philadelphia Phillies on Phillies Daily! This episode spotlights Zack Wheeler’s historic complete game—one hit, no walks, 12 strikeouts—making him the first Phillies pitcher since at least 1901 to post such a line. Wheeler, now 9-3 with a 2.17 ERA and 148 strikeouts, is having a career-best season and is a leading NL Cy Young candidate. Bryson Stott delivered a clutch two-run homer to seal a series win over the Reds, while Kyle Schwarber’s 27 home runs earned him his third All-Star nod. Despite strong performances, Trey Turner and Alec Bohm were major All-Star snubs. With the Phillies heading into a crucial West Coast road trip and the trade deadline approaching, Michael breaks down top bullpen targets—especially Nationals closer Kyle Finnegan—and what the Phillies need to stay in World Series contention. Tune in for daily Phillies news, expert analysis, and passionate fan discussion!
