Uncertainty looms over this start for Wheeler. His velocity was down in Game 2, even with extra rest, and he put nine men on base over five innings, allowing five runs. Wheeler has maintained that he is healthy, that the dip in velocity is not due to his elbow barking or because of the line drive that struck him near the knee in the NLCS."Just try to be a stopper and give our team one more chance after tomorrow," Wheeler said.
The Phillies face Framber Valdez in Game 6. The left-hander has stifled the Phils twice over the last month with a sinker-curveball combination that misses bats and generates so many groundballs. Valdez struck out 10 over five scoreless innings to beat the Phillies on October 5 and followed with 6⅓ innings of one-run ball, striking out nine, in Game 2 of the World Series.
