Grand Slam Dooms Zack Wheeler Against Dodgers
6 years agoNew York Mets starting pitcher Zack Wheeler had an advantageous matchup against the slumping Los Angeles Dodgers offense on Friday and until the sixth inning he took advantage of it. The overall stat line may not look fantastic -- four earned runs on five hits and three walks across seven innings pitched with seven strikeouts -- but it was one pitch that did Wheeler in. With the bases loaded in the sixth inning, Dodgers first baseman Cody Bellinger deposited one in the seats for the grand slam. Don’t let this one deter you from Wheeler too much, as he’s been solid enough all year that you can’t ignore him completely.
