Mets LH reliever Josh Smoker entered during the second inning Tuesday and tossed four innings in relief of Zack Wheeler. In what was his longest relief appearance of the season, Smoker faced 21 batters, gave up six hits, struck out five batters, walked four and was charged with three earned runs. "He saved us, because we could have burnt out a lot of pitching tonight," Terry Collins later said. "He went out there and pitched some tough innings and I appreciated it." In his previous three relief appearances, Smoker combined to throw 75 pitches. He tossed a total of 81 pitches during his appearance Tuesday night.May 30, 2017; New York City, NY, USA; Smoker reacts after getting an out at Citi Field. Continue to Article

Zack Wheeler turned in the worst start of his career on Tuesday, allowing eight runs on six hits before he could complete two innings during a 14-4 loss to the Cubs. "I just didn't feel right today," Wheeler said after the game. "I don't know what it was, I just didn't feel right. It's no excuse, but you're supposed to find it when you're out there and make an adjustment. I couldn't do that today." Wheeler, who had not allowed more than three runs in an outing since April 23, allowed a leadoff home run to Anthony Rizzo to start the game. Ian Happ then blasted a two-out grand slam in the second inning to extend Chicago's lead to 6-1.Jun 13, 2017; Terry Collins (10) relieves Wheeler (45) at Citi Continue to Article

And Dave Echols, president of the Charleston RiverDogs, couldn't be happier. “It’s a unique situation we have because Tebow is clearly helping us sell out these games in advance,” Echols said this week. The Fireflies, the Class A affiliate of the New York Mets, will play the RiverDogs, the Class A affiliate of the New York Yankees, in a three-game series beginning Friday at Riley Park. They’ve already faced each other this year, but this will be the first time Charleston has hosted Tebow, a Heisman Trophy winner and two-time college football champion at Florida. The Fireflies have been drawing overflow Continue to Article
