Phillies waste great Zack Wheeler start, squander opportunities in loss to Mets

Final Score: Mets 2, Phillies 1

A day after scoring three runs on four hits, the Phillies struggled at the plate again on Sunday. Just like Saturday, they scored a run in the first inning, but couldn’t do much more. Not being able to do much more wasted a great start by Zack Wheeler.

Mets’ starter Tylor Megill was able to get through four innings by using mostly fastballs. The right-hander held the Phillies to four hits and that one run he allowed in the first. Phil Maton was first out of New York’s bullpen.
