It's Zack, with a "K."
That's just the easiest way to remember the correct spelling of Zack Wheeler's first name, along with his optimum pitching style.
On an unseasonably cool Friday night in Flushing, the Mets right-hander cranked up the heat and delivered in a 3-2 victory over the Cubs that snapped his team's three-game losing streak.
Wheeler struck out 10 batters — reaching double figures for the third time in his career — on a night when he allowed two earned runs on four hits and four walks over 6 ²/₃ innings.
Eric Campbell's three-run homer off Travis Wood in the fourth provided the Mets (58-65) with their offense after they were limited to four runs in getting swept three games by the Nationals.
Wheeler (8-8) departed after walking Chris Coghlan with two outs in the seventh and watched Vic Black get the final out in the inning before Jeurys Familia and Jenrry Mejia worked a scoreless frame apiece.
For Wheeler, it was a ninth straight start in which he lasted at least six innings and allowed three runs or fewer. Over that stretch, he is 5-0 with a 2.02 ERA and has emerged as the staff ace.
David Wright and Lucas Duda walked in succession against Wood to begin the inning fourth inning before Campbell, with one out, cleared the left-field fence for his second homer of the season.
Before the game, manager Terry Collins pointed to Campbell's production as the reason Matt den Dekker is not playing against lefties.
"When we decided to make this move, one of the reasons was we wanted to get Eric Campbell in there against left-handed pitchers," Collins said, referring to den Dekker's recall from Triple-A Las Vegas after Chris Young was designated for assignment.
"We also wanted to get Lucas Duda in against left-handed pitching. I've applied to try to get a 10th player out there, but unfortunately it hasn't been [approved] yet. We decided when we brought [den Dekker] here that we were going to platoon him."
Starlin Castro's RBI single in the third put the Mets in a 2-0 hole after Anthony Rizzo had brought in a run with a groundout. Wheeler walked Wood leading off the inning to start the Cubs' rally.
