The New York Mets came into Sunday’s game in Philadelphia in desperate need of a win. Unfortunately, their former teammate — Zack Wheeler — didn’t seem to care.
The Phillies retired the number of the late Roy Halladay on before Sunday’s matinee. Wheeler then dominated the a Mets’ lineup that has lost any confidence.
Making matters worse, the Mets may have lost their most significant trade deadline addition.
Javier Báez took a hard swing at a breaking ball and never left the box after making contact. He was helped to the clubhouse and left the game.
