Mets pitcher Zack Wheeler struck out 10 hitters Friday against the Cubs.
Wheeler allowed two runs on four hits over 6 2/3 innings of work. He struck out 10 and walked four during the outing. Wheeler had to pitch out of jams occasionally during the start. After putting two men on to open the second inning, Wheeler managed to strike out the side. He wasn't so fortunate the following frame. Wheeler allowed two runs to score on two singles, a walk and a groundout. Walks continued to plague Wheeler over the rest of the start, but he was able to work around base-runners.
With the win, Wheeler improved to 8-8. He'll take on the Athletics in his next start.
