The Mets had no shortage of chances in their 5-2 loss to the Dodgers to open the homestand at Citi Field. After Alex Wood struck out the side in the first, the Mets gave him his first hill to climb in the second, loading the bases with one out. But Amed Rosario grounded into a force out and Zack Wheeler struck out swinging, allowing Wood to escape the jam.
Wheeler continued to build on his comeback season early in the game, with the revitalized snap from his pitches we are used to seeing of late.
