In his potential last start for the New York Mets, Zack Wheeler proved what he’s worth. On a comfortable 80-degree night in Flushing, and his first game back from the Injured List, Wheeler took the mound ready to go against a struggling Pirates team who lost their last six games and 12 of their last 14 since the All-Star Break.
He started with a successful first inning going 1-2-3 with a strikeout. Unfortunately, the second inning proved to be a little tougher to navigate and Wheeler ends up giving up one run on a single by Moran.
