Mets pitcher Zack Wheeler was saddled with the loss Wednesday, giving up four earned runs on eight hits in five innings while striking out six and walking none in his team's 4-3 loss to the Braves Wednesday.
Wheeler (0-2) has flashed great strikeout potential over two starts, but he's had trouble keeping runs off the board. The Braves scored one on a Jason Heyward home run in the first inning and another three runs in fifth. Wheeler brings a 5.73 ERA and 12:2 K:BB ratio into Monday's start in Arizona.
