Zack Wheeler only goes 3 innings, his shortest start of 2021. But the spin-rate detectives can stand down.

His spin rate was actually slightly higher than his season average on his 4-seamer, slider, curve and changeup. pic.twitter.com/9Xr67v1mWh

Joe Girardi requested the umpires to check Max Scherzer for foreign substances and Scherzer responded by throwing his hat and glove to the ground and unbuckling his pants.

If nothing else, this has rallied the fans to get on Scherzer who was demonstrably upset about being challenged about foreign substances. He was also none too pleased by the perfunctory check after his first inning of pitching.
