Gausman outpitched by Wheeler in Braves debut; Mets win 3-0

NEW YORK (AP) -- When the July 31 trade deadline came and went, Kevin Gausman switched uniforms while Zack Wheeler stayed put.

The two starting pitchers squared off just a few days later, and it was Wheeler who looked completely at ease.

Gausman was outpitched in his Braves debut by a blossoming Wheeler, and the New York Mets won 3-0 on Saturday night to stop Atlanta's five-game winning streak.

''I just see him going out there and challenging hitters every night with great stuff,'' Mets manager Mickey Callaway said.
