Description: New York Mets pitching prospect Zack Wheeler (Double-A Binghamton) held Harrisburg to one unearned run on two hits over seven innings to improve to 6-2 Thursday. Wheeler, New York's top propsect and the No. 25 overall player on MLB.com's list of top 100 prospects, was acquired from the Giants for Carlos Beltran last season. | Insight: Wheeler is clearly ready to move up to Triple-A, as he has a 1.66 ERA and 67 strikeouts in 59 2/3 innings over 10 starts at Double-A.

But he'll have to get the call to Triple-A first. | | |
