Daily News | No late rally this time as Mets blank Phils 2-0
Phillies pitcher Zack Wheeler throws against the Mets during the 1st inning at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Tuesday,, April 12, 2022When Alec Bohm walked up to the plate in the bottom of the eighth inning of the Phillies’ 2-0 loss to the New York Mets on Tuesday night, he didn’t know what to expect.
“Look, emotions got the best of me,” he said on Monday. “I said it. Do I mean it? No. It’s a frustrating night for me. Made a few mistakes in the field. But these people, these fans, they just want to win. You heard it. We come back, they’re great. I’m sorry to them. I don’t mean that.” Phillies starter Zack Wheeler stepped onto the mound in Citizens Bank Park at 6:49 p.m. Tuesday. The Mets’ Brandon Nimmo had the first at-bat. It lasted six pitches — not ideal, for a pitcher trying to be economical — but it ultimately ended in a groundout. Next was Starling Marte, who Wheeler hit with his sinker. Francisco Lindor grounded out, then Wheeler hit Pete Alonso — also with his sinker — and walked Eduardo Escobar. By the end of those five at-bats, he was at 24 pitches.
“[In that mound visit] we talked about staying back a little bit more, I was rushing a little bit,” Wheeler said. “It was my first time really in a game situation with guys on and stuff like that, so I was just rushing. My pitches were just flying, so I was just trying to stay back and catch my breath a little bit.”
