Lost in what ended up being a disappointing four-game sweep at the hands of the Chicago Cubs was the performance of the New York Mets‘ starting rotation. Three hurlers registered quality starts, while the lone game it didn’t happen was when Seth Lugo was on a strict pitch count through four shutout frames.
Zack Wheeler owned one of these quality starts. He ended up taking a no-decision despite allowing just two runs on seven hits, two walks, and four strikeouts in six innings of work. Another encouraging aspect of this performance included how he was lighting up the radar gun.
