Zack Wheeler pitched seven strong innings in a possible audition for the trade deadline, and the Mets hit Padres’ starter Eric Lauer early and often en route to a 6-3 win. Michael Conforto hit his 13th home run of the season in the third inning, and Devin Mesoraco came through with a bases-clearing double to get the scoring started in the first.
Zack Wheeler’s start last night may have been his last in a Mets uniform, as trade rumors continue to circulate.
