Mets starting pitcher Zack Wheeler brought his losing streak to an emphatic end Thursday, in a 4-1win over the Phillies.
Wheeler, who had been winless in his previous seven starts, was never down against the Phillies this time around. He allowed just one run in 6 1/3 innings of work, while limiting the Phillies to just four hits. He struck out nine batters and did not walk any on 108 pitches in the win, just his second in 11 starts.
Wheeler is now 2-5 with a 4.31 ERA on the season, though he has lowered that mark more than half a run over the last two outings. He will try to keep his run going in his next start, set for Tuesday against the Cubs.
