The Philadelphia Phillies look to stop a two-game losing streak on Tuesday night against the San Francisco Giants.  

The Phillies call on Zack Wheeler to play stopper in this case.  Wheeler is 3-2 with a 3.80 ERA this season.  He is looking to build off of a 7 IP, 3 H, 1 R appearance last week against the Toronto Blue Jays.  

Gabe Kapler’s Giants will counter with righty Alex Cobb.  The 35-year-old is having one of his best, if not his best, starts to his career.  Cobb is 3-1 with a 1.70 ERA on the campaign.  He has not allowed more than three earned runs in a start this season. 

First pitch is set for 9:45 PM/EDT from the Bay Area.
