Zack Wheeler keeps on rolling as Mets shut down Nationals again
Zack Wheeler pitched seven scoreless innings in the Mets' 3-0 victory Saturday.The Mets are doing their best to make sure the Nationals play as many meaningless games the rest of the year as they will. So far this weekend, they’re supplying the hammer and nails for their rivals’ coffin.
The two-time defending NL East champions reached Queens on Friday on the outskirts of the playoff race, six games behind in the loss column of the second National League wild card. But after getting shutout for a franchise-record third straight game, they have the same postseason pulse as the Mets: Nonexistent.
