Mets starter Zack Wheeler (6-2) tossed a quality start as he earned his sixth win of the season Tuesday night against the Braves at Citi Field. The rookie right-hander yielded three runs on six hits and three walks while striking out five over 6 2/3 innings of a 5-3 victory.
Wheeler has allowed three earned runs or fewer in eight of his last nine starts and owns a 3.04 ERA over that span. He is scheduled to make his next start Monday at home against Philadelphia. He allowed two runs over 4 2/3 innings in his previous meeting against the Phillies on July 20.
