NEW YORK -- When the Mets acquired Zack Wheeler in a trade from the Giants in 2011, they saw potential in the young pitcher, and seven years later -- after a plethora of setbacks -- the right-hander has consistently impressed.
Despite Wheeler's strong seven-inning outing on Monday, the Mets couldn't get the job done for their starter, losing to the Giants on an unearned run in the 13th inning at Citi Field. With two outs in the top of the final frame, Amed Rosario and Dominic Smith collided while attempting to field a popup to short left field, dropping the ball and allowing San Francisco's winning run to cross the plate and send the Mets to a 2-1 loss.
