Daily News | Phillies promising start turns to an 8-2 loss in double header against Mets
The Phillies got off to a somewhat promising start in Game 1 of the day-night doubleheader against the Mets on Saturday.
It was yet another deflating loss to the Mets, a team that the Phillies can’t seem to figure out. The Phillies enter Game 2 of the doubleheader at 65-54.After Wheeler’s last start, on Aug. 14 against the Mets in New York, the right-hander said he felt as good as he had all season. It was an unusual statement, given the fact that Wheeler had just given up six earned runs and nine hits in six innings. But his velocity was up — he hit 98.
Wheeler has said more than a few times this season that he’s felt “off,” and only recently began feeling like he was more in rhythm. Given how he was feeling, and the weak contact he was inducing, that Aug. 14 start was a frustrating one for him. He said Saturday’s start was frustrating as well. The Phillies got rather unlucky offensively, too. Of the 10 hardest hit balls of the day, eight were hit by Phillies hitters . The Mets, conversely, racked up a ton of weak hits , and finished their day with 10 hits. Go figure.
