Mets pitcher Zack Wheeler was saddled with his fifth loss Wednesday despite surrendering just one earned run on eight hits and one walk while striking out six in seven innings in his team's 3-0 loss to the Nationals.
Wheeler's lone mistake came in the sixth inning on a solo home run by Ryan Zimmerman, and it was enough to hang a loss on his night. He takes a 7-5 record, 3.22 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 81:40 K:BB ratio into Tuesday's scheduled start against the Giants.
