Zack Wheeler's case for his first National League Cy Young Award took another hit on Saturday afternoon. The Phillies' ace allowed three home runs for the first time in more than a year in a 7-5 loss to the Tigers at Citizens Bank Park.

The Phillies’ ace has allowed three or more runs in just six of 22 starts this year, but three of those starts have come in the past month.

The Phillies finally broke through against Skubal in the bottom of the seventh. After six shutout innings and 10 strikeouts, Skubal gave up a single to Bryce Harper, a double to J.T. Realmuto, and a two-run homer to Nick Castellanos to cut the lead to 5-3.
