PHILADELPHIA (AP) — If this was it for Zack Wheeler Alen Hanson Jersey , he finished strong and — probably most importantly — healthy.gs for his career-best 12th win in what may have been his final start of the season, Michael Conforto had a career-high six RBIs and the New York Mets beat the fading Philadelphia Phillies 9-4 on Monday night.Wheeler (12-7) allowed four runs and three hits to become the first Mets pitcher since Steve Trachsel in 2001 to record nine wins after the All-Star Game. Since the break, the right-hander is 9-1 with a 1.68 ERA in 11 starts.“Probably the best pitcher in baseball the last 1½ months,” Mets manager Mickey Callaway said.New York was eliminated from playoff contention Monday night when St. Louis beat Atlanta. Callaway wants to be cautious with Wheeler and said he would discuss with Mets management whether he makes another start.The right-hander is three innings shy of his career best, the 185 1/3 he threw in 2014 before injuries halted his promising career. Wheeler didn’t pitch at all in the majors in 2015 or 2016 following Tommy John surgery, and was limited to 86 1/3 innings last season due to a stress reaction in his pitching arm.“We want to make sure we’re taking care of the player,” Callaway said.Wheeler, who opened the season in the minors, is relieved to be pitching and feeling so well.“It’s been smooth sailing for the most part this year,” he said.Asked if he wanted to continue to pitch, Wheeler said, “Still feeling good. It’s not my call. I’ll leave it up to those guys.”Conforto, after a rocky start Edgar Martinez Jersey , also is feeling good. The Mets outfielder already has 22 RBIs this month, giving him 75 for the season.“If I put the work in and stayed positive, I knew at some point it would come around,” he said. “It feels like I’m not searching so much. It took five months I guess, but I finally got it.”Conforto had a two-run single in the fifth, an RBI double in the seventh and a three-run homer in the ninth for the Mets, who have won seven of 11 and are 26-17 over their last 43 games. Conforto has 45 RBIs since the All-Star break, second-most in the NL over that span behind Milwaukee’s Christian Yelich.“This is the Michael Conforto everyone wants to see,” Callaway said. “This is one of the better players in the league when he’s going like this.”The Phillies, as a team, have been heading in the opposite direction.J.P. Crawford had a three-run triple for the Phillies, whose slim playoff chances took another hit. Philadelphia is 6½ games back of first-place Atlanta in the NL East and five games out of the wild card. The Phillies have lost eight of 11.Conforto’s two-out double in the seventh off Tommy Hunter (4-3) snapped a 4-all tie and helped the Mets continue their mastery of Philadelphia.Wheeler didn’t allow a hit until Wilson Ramos‘ leadoff single in the fifth that caromed off the glove of diving second baseman Jeff McNeil and into short right field. Wheeler then gave up a single to Nick Williams and hit Odubel Herrera with a pitch to load the bases. Crawford cleared them with a triple to right, and Cesar Hernandez’s sacrifice fly scored Crawford to tie it at 4.The Mets took a 4-0 lead against Jake Arrieta. Austin Jackson’s RBI double in the second got New York on the board Ryon Healy Jersey , and the Mets scored three more runs in the fifth on Amed Rosario’s sacrifice fly and Conforto’s single to center.Arrieta was tagged for four runs and nine hits in five innings.PHILLIES’ FOILNew York has won 11 of 17 against the Phillies this season and is 44-20 in Philadelphia since 2012.“They’ve just flat-out beat us,” Phillies manager Gabe Kapler said. “They have beat us in good matchups. They have beat us in bad matchups. They have just handled us well.”WALK THIS WAYPhiladelphia’s Carlos Santana walked in the second inning to reach 100 for the season for the third time in his career. He has 101 walks after a sixth-inning free pass.TRAINER’S ROOMPhillies: 3B Maikel Franco (neck) missed his fifth straight game. Kapler said he expects Franco to return in two or three days. … Williams (shoulder) returned to the lineup after sitting out the last three games. . INF Asdrubal Cabrera left in the fifth inning with a left calf strain. He will be re-evaluated on Tuesday.UP NEXTMets LHP Steven Matz (5-11, 4.18 ERA) opposes RHP Aaron Nola (16-5, 2.42) in the middle game of the series. BALTIMORE (AP) — The Orioles bolstered their outfield defense by acquiring Keon Broxton from the New York Mets on Wednesday for $500,000 in 2019-20 international signing bonus pool allotment.Broxton was designated for assignment last week by the Mets after batting .143 in 34 games with no homers and two RBIs. The Orioles, however, like the idea of having his glove in center field after experimenting with rookie Stevie Wilkerson over the past month.“He has speed, excellent center field ability, he’s got some raw power,” general manager Mike Elias said of Broxton on Wednesday. “We’re trying some different things in center field and we wanted to give him a look and hopefully give him a little bit more extended time than he’s had.”In five years with Milwaukee, Pittsburgh and the Mets, the 29-year-old Broxton has a .216 average with 33 homers and 81 RBIs. His best season was in 2017, when he hit 20 homers in 143 games with the Brewers.“He’s a really athletic guy. His tools are off the charts http://www.marinersfanproshop.com/authentic-edgar-martinez-jersey ,” Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said. “He can really go get it in center field; I’ve seen him make numerous great plays.”Hyde has no intention of letting Broxton watch from the bench.“I know that he’s excited to come here, and he’s going to get an opportunity to play,” Hyde said. “Looking forward to watching him play. I’ve seen the raw power, I’ve seen the speed and I’ve seen the defense in center. He’s going to play quite a bit.”In other moves Wednesday, the Orioles claimed right-hander Chandler Shepherd off waivers from the Chicago Cubs and assigned him to Triple-A Norfolk.Baltimore also transferred right-hander Alex Cobb to the 60-day injured list with a lumbar strain and designated right-hander Yefry Ramirez for assignment.Cobb has pitched in only three games this season. He is 0-2 with a 10.95 ERA operating in the second year of a $57 million, four-year contract.“We’re still waiting to see how he’s responding and seeing how he feels off the mound. He’s just playing catch,” Hyde said. “As of right now, he wasn’t going to come back before those 60 days, so give him the opportunity to get right and go through a full rehab.”
