It’s difficult to believe that this game began as a pitcher’s duel, but it did. Ultimately, the Mets would go on to lose to the Giants 7-0 in a game that was scoreless through the first six innings. Zack Wheeler pitched seven very good innings, but this time was not rewarded with a win. This was his last start in a month in which he had already won five games and it’s not hard to see why he racked up so many victories in August.
Wheeler limited the Giants to just three hits through the first six innings before they broke through against him in the seventh.
