日曜日にPNCパークで行われた試合で、フィラデルフィア・フィリーズがピッツバーグ・パイレーツを6-0で下し、スイープを達成した。ザック・ウィーラーが7回無失点の好投で勝利に貢献。この結果、フィリーズの成績は24勝23敗となり、4月上旬以来初めて勝率5割を超えた。
フィリーズのドン・マッティングリー監督は試合前、ポール・スキーンズと互角に渡り合うためには投手陣の奮闘が不可欠だと強調していた。ザック・ウィーラーはその期待に応え、7回を投げて被安打4、8奪三振、無失点という完璧な投球内容でパイレーツ打線を封じ込めた。胸郭出口症候群の手術からの回復を続ける中で、この日の直球は最速97.8マイル（約157.4キロ）を計測した。
X（旧Twitter）上では、フィリーズのスイープ達成に対する反響が大きく、ウィーラーの圧巻の投球やスキーンズから放たれたハーパーの本塁打を称賛する声が上がった。また、完封試合という結果やパイレーツの不振についての中立的なまとめも投稿されている。

Day 54 of @MLB Regular Season- @Royals needed the win! 6-game losing streak is OVER! @Mets call it a comeback in Queens & take 2 of 3 from the Yankees. @Phillies & Wheeler best Skenes & @Pirates. Phillies are now a game over .500 (9-19 on April 26). That didn't take long at all.
