MIAMI -- Zack Wheeler and the New York Mets got the best of Andrew Heaney during the Marlins prospects major league debut.

Rams Jersey . Wheeler tossed his first shutout and made David Wrights
first-inning home run hold up in the Mets 1-0 victory over Miami on Thursday
night. "He showed you exactly what weve been talking about all along -- plus
stuff. Tremendous, great effort," Mets manager Terry Collins said of Wheeler.
"He went after them. It was his night." Wheeler (3-7) outdueled Heaney in the
longest outing of the Mets starters career. "It feels great, I know I can do it
every time out," Wheeler said. "I know I have the stuff. It finally feels good
to go out there and do it and be efficient with my pitches and get ahead of
guys." New York, which won at St. Louis on Wednesday, has consecutive victories
for the first time since a three-game streak from May 31-June 2. The Mets had
dropped eight straight on the road before Wednesday. Wheeler, the No. 6 pick in
the 2009 draft, struck out eight. He allowed three hits and one walk, and 70 of
his 111 pitches were strikes. He pitched to only one batter over the minimum and
was helped by three double plays. "Anytime somebody gets on, whether it be a
walk or hit, you just try to make a pitch and get a double play. I was able to
do that," Wheeler said. The 24-year old right-hander lowered his ERA to 0.96 in
four starts against the Marlins. "He didnt miss over the plate much," Marlins
catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia said. "He was really good with locating his
pitches off the plate. He threw a lot of fastballs, like we expected, but he
didnt leave anything over the plate. "Youve got to tip your cap to a guy who
pitched a great game." Heaney (0-1) gave up four hits in six innings, allowing
only Wrights home run. The 23-year old lefty, the ninth pick in the 2012 draft,
struck out three and walked one. "He did a nice job, gave us a chance and kept
us in the game," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "He gave up one pitch to a
really good hitter for a home run and that was it. He executed his pitches, got
his pitch count up high early, but then settled in. "All in all it was a good
start for him." It was a battle between two young starters that could see a lot
of each other in coming years in the NL East. "Thats what the game is coming
to," Collins said. "The game is changing where those big power arms are coming
up in every organization, and theyre all young." Heaney allowed an infield hit
to Eric Young, Jr. to begin the game, but got Daniel Murphy to bounce into a
double play. Wright then hit his sixth homer of the season off the sculpture in
deep left-centre field. No one else got into scoring position against Heaney. "I
had no expectations, to be honest," Heaney said. "I just wanted to pitch well. I
felt early on I didnt know how it was going to go. It was kind of on the edge
with every guy. From that fourth inning on I got into a rhythm." Bryan Morris
relieved Heaney in the seventh and faced a bases loaded situation, but he got
Wheeler to ground out and end the threat. Wheeler, who made his much-anticipated
debut a year and a day before Heaney, complimented his mound opponent. "I sat on
the bench in between innings and just watched him, knowing that I was there not
too long ago and knowing how he felt," Wheeler said. "He has a good arm, and I
think hes going to do well." Kevin Gregg pitched the ninth in his season debut
with Miami. He earned 61 saves for the Marlins in 2007-08. Reed Johnson singled
in the ninth off Wheeler with two outs, but Rafael Furcal lined out to centre to
end the game. Wheeler threw a 95 mph fastball on his final pitch. "I still had
plenty," Wheeler said. NOTES: Mets OF Kirk Nieuwenhuis was recalled from
Triple-A Las Vegas, and OF Matt den Dekker was optioned to Las Vegas. ...
Marlins slugger RF Giancarlo Stanton went 0 for 3 with two strikeouts after
coming out of Wednesdays game because of a bruised left wrist. ... New York will
send RHP Daisuke Matsuzaka (3-0, 2.81) to the mound on Friday against Miami RHP
Henderson Alvarez (3-3, 2.56).
