The ball had gotten over Jay Bruce's outstretched glove for a two-run shot that put the Rangers ahead to stay as they snapped a four-game losing streak with a 10-8 victory over the New York Mets on Tuesday night. Wheeler survived the hits because he walked just one batter.
Two hits in the first inning led to the Rangers evening the game at 1-all, and the first two runners reached and scored in the second to give Texas a 3-2 lead. The Stetson product was not almost as sharp last time out, when he was lit up for seven runs on eight hits and five walks in four innings by Milwaukee.
"I don't know where the ball is going right now", deGrom said.
The Mets are 0-4 in their last four Wednesday games, and 5-2 in Wheelers' last seven starts during game two of a series.
"You tell me that Jake deGrom is going to start a game and we're going to score eight runs, I figure the game is over", Collins said. The 32-year-old right-hander worked 1 2/3 scoreless innings in relief of Dillon Gee, the former Mets pitcher who allowed four runs and three homers over 3 1/3 innings in his first start for Texas.
Mets: RHP Seth Lugo (right elbow) and LHP Steven Matz (left elbow) are both with the team in Texas. The Mets put the tying runs on base with no outs via a Lagares home run and a Conforto walk.

Iran faces particular challenges from climate change, having suffered years of worsening drought and dust storms, compounded by poor water resource management.
"We're starting to look like we're getting in shape", Collins said. The 31-year-old, who spent his first six seasons with NY, allowed four unearned runs and two hits - one homer - in four innings against Houston on Friday in his last outing.
The Rangers rebounded from their third deficit of the game in the third inning, when Joey Gallo hit a two-run homer against deGrom to put the Mets in a 5-4 hole.
Curtis Granderson and Travis d'Arnaud homered on consecutive pitches in the ninth off Matt Bush, the Rangers' closer making his first appearance since last Wednesday and pitching in a non-save situation.
DeGrom was fantastic in back-to-back starts while limiting Pittsburgh and the Los Angeles Angels to one run on 10 hits in 15 1/3 total innings and striking out 19.
Asdrubal Cabrera and Neil Walker went deep in the third for the Mets. Nomar Mazara followed with a solo homer to push the lead to 8-4.
Beltre, only 48 hits from 3,000, jammed his ankle when he hit first base while beating out an RBI fielder's choice grounder in the first inning in the 10-8 win over the Mets on Tuesday night.
