Mets pitcher Zack Wheeler took a loss Saturday, giving up four earned runs on six hits and three walks in five innings while striking out four in his team's 5-0 defeat against the Padres.
Wheeler (2-7) surrendered the first two runs in the first inning, with the second coming on a wild pitch. He then gave up another run in the third inning and one more in the fourth while his offense scuffled at the plate. Wheeler owns a 4.38 ERA and 79:34 K:BB ratio in 78 innings. He's scheduled to take on the Marlins Thursday.
