NEW YORK _ The Mets know that if Zack Wheeler ever puts it all together, he's going to be a truly unstoppable force. They just didn't expect that to mean on the mound and in the batter's box.
Wheeler struck out 11 in seven shutout innings and also hit a two-run double and his first career home run Tuesday night at Citi Field in a 9-0 rout of the Phillies.
Wheeler, who came into his fifth start of the season with a 6.35 ERA, thrilled the crowd by striking out seven in a row from the second to fourth innings.
