If you like pitching, you loved this game tonight – especially since the Braves refused to lose once again, coming up with two runs in the eighth to give Matt Wisler a well-earned victory during his first major league game.
Yes, if you’re thinking about it, you heard that right: Wisler pitched eight innings tonight… long enough for the Braves to knock out the reigning Rookie of the Year in Jacob deGrom by overcoming a 1-0 deficit.
Solid and Composed
Wisler was not overpowering, but he was exacting and kept the Mets’ hitters guessing, pitching to weak contact for most of the night.
