Zack Wheeler, Mets bats punish Marlins to end marathon day

In a dismal season for the Mets, Zack Wheeler continued to provide at least some hope for the future with another stellar outing Wednesday night.

Granted, this one came after an interminable rain delay against a rotten Miami team that played like it wanted to be anywhere but at a soggy Citi Field, as the Mets pounded the last-place Marlins, 13-0.

The worst team in the National League certainly looked the part, lost at the plate and in the field after the start of the game was pushed back 5 hours and 35 minutes, as the teams played just one game of a scheduled doubleheader.
