Schwei’s Mets Notes: Wheeler Shelled Again, Murphy’s A Met Killer, And More
After losing three of four to the Washington Nationals, the New York Mets dropped the opener of their West Coast trip Monday night against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Zack Wheeler, who gave up eight runs on six hits in 1 2/3 innings in his previous start against the Cubs, allowed seven runs and eight hits in two innings as the Mets lost to the Dodgers, 10-6.
The last Mets pitcher to have back-to-back starts in the same season without going more than two innings was Randy Jones, who lasted just 1 1/3 innings vs. the Astros and then was knocked out in the first inning without retiring a batter against the Braves in consecutive starts in 1982.
