Wheeler Handcuffs Padres, Nationals Seize 2-1 Advantage in DS
The Washington Nationals silenced the San Diego Padres today to move within one game of the League Championship Series. The Nationals shut out the Padres by a final score of 1-0 at PETCO Park. Washington right-hander Zack Wheeler was named player of the game after a strong outing in which he threw 7 innings of shutout ball. The win gives the Nationals a 2-1 advantage in the best-of-5 Division Series.

Wheeler earned the win, going 7.1 strong innings for Washington. The native of Dallas, Georgia allowed just 1 hit, while striking out 7. San Diego hitters did next to nothing against the right-hander.

"Feels good to get the job done," Wheeler said after the game.

Game 4 is scheduled for tomorrow at PETCO Park in San Diego. The scheduled starters for the game are Alex Reyes for the Washington Nationals and Joe Musgrove for the the San Diego Padres.
