Mets starting pitcher Zack Wheeler pitched well outside of just one bad inning during a no-decision Sunday against the Braves. He was charged with three runs on six hits and three walks, while striking out six in six innings.
Wheeler opened the game with a pair of strikeouts in the first inning and had three strikeouts through two innings.
He was in control and holding a two-run lead before unraveling in the fifth inning. The Braves would produce three runs on RBI doubles from Jason Heyward, B.J. Upton and Freedie Freeman.
Wheeler got off the hook for the loss as New York tied the game at 3 in the sixth inning. He's expected to make his next start Friday against the Marlins.
