Zack Wheeler gave the Phillies everything they asked for. After 111 pitches and seven shutout innings behind him, Wheeler was hardly breaking a sweat on the mound. After two hours of pitching, he looked like he would have no problem if he was asked to keep going.

Kyle Schwarber led off the bottom of the first inning with a home run to right field, giving the Phillies a 1-0 lead over the Mets and raising the decibels to almost deafening levels at Citizens Bank Park. It was his MLB record fifth postseason lead-off dinger.

After Wheeler held them to no runs and one hit in seven innings, the Mets unloaded against the Phillies' vaunted bullpen to win Game 1, 6-2.
