Mets RHP Zack Wheeler struck out four batters in three scoreless innings against the Yankees on Wednesday afternoon in Port St. Lucie, lowering his Spring Training ERA to 1.80.
Wheeler said he felt more comfortable as the start went along.
"Everything's starting to feel a little bit better and a little more natrual," he said.
Wheeler, who threw 49 pitches, allowed four htis and walked none. Of the hits he allowed, one was a bloop, one was a seeing-eye ground ball single, and another was a soft grounder to third base -- which is to say Wheeler looked even better than his line indicates.
