LOS ANGELES (AP) — Zack Wheeler stayed in the game after getting hit in the chest by a line drive, and pitching seven sharp innings to lead the Mets over the Los Angeles Dodgers, 7-3, on Wednesday.
Max Muncy and Cody Bellinger homered for the playoff-contending Dodgers, who were held to three hits as they lost for third time in their past 12 games.
Wilmer Flores had two run-scoring singles for the Mets, who went 5-4 on a trip through Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Wheeler (10-7) retired the first 11 batters he faced before he was struck by Justin Turner’s liner in the fourth inning.
