Meet the Mets

Matt Harvey and Zack Wheeler. Zack Wheeler and Matt Harvey. The Mets got a glimpse at what could be a very exciting one-two punch yesterday, as they swept a doubleheader from the Braves behind the right arms of Mr. Harvey and Mr. Wheeler. Harvey had a no-hitter through 6 and struck out 13 over 7 innings in a 4-3 victory, while Wheeler tossed six shutout innings in his big league debut, 6-1 Mets win.

Matt Harvey and Zack Wheeler do not pitch tonight. Instead, it'll be Shaun Marcum on the mound against Kris Medlen at 7:10 PM.

After the game, the Mets announced some roster moves. First they acquired outfielder Eric Young Jr from the Rockies in exchange for Collin McHugh. To make room for Young on the roster, the Mets designated Collin Cowgill for assignment. They also are set to promote Andrew Brown up from Las Vegas. The corresponding move there wasn't announced, though it may be Scott Atchison headed to the DL after he injured his groin last night.

David Wright hopes that Harvey and Wheeler develop into the Mets' 1A and 1B in the rotation.

There was plenty of Wheeler hype written before the righty took the mound yesterday. John Sickels named Wheeler his prospect of the day. At Fangraphs, Marc Hulet looked at Wheeler. Our own Jeffrey Paternostro had a primer on Wheeler. Grant Brisbee wrote about the Mets and relying on young pitching.

First round pick Dominic Smith is very close to being finalized, says an insider. Smith will head to the GCL once the deal is final.
