RHP Cbristian Scott made his ML debut and got off to a rocky start in the bottom of the first allowing a run and then loading the bases, but came back to strike out LF Randy Arozena and then got an inning-ending double play.
Scott was able to settle down after that retiring the next 12 consecutive hitters he faced and had to throw only 24 pitches in the next three innings.
He was able to work his way out of another jam in the bottom of the fifth and then threw a scoreless bottom of the sixth.
Scott got the first two outs in the bottom of the seventh and was taken out with 94 pitches.
His final line was 6.2 innings, five hits, one run, one walk and six strikeouts.
Scott showed off his repertoire with his four-seam fastball, sweeper and slider using his fastball 44 percent of the time as well as 28 sweepers and 17 sliders.
He had a lot of composure and was not rattled when faced with men on base.
It was an impressive debut and it will fun to see how Scott continues to grow and develop.
RHP Reed Garrett came in next and was able to get the last out in the bottom of the seventh.
RHP Adam Ottavino came on in the bottom of the eighth and got into trouble loading the bases and then walked pinch-hitter Austin Shenton to bring in the go-ahead run and was then taken out.
RHP Sean Reid-Foley followed and gave up another run on a based loaded walk to SS Jose Caballero.
The Met offense got off to a fast start in the top of the first after LF Brandon Nimmo led off with a double and then RF Starling Marte followed with a RBI single, but did not score any more runs after that.
They wasted several scoring opportunities and went 1-10 with runners in scoring position leaving eight runners on base.
The Mets next game is tomorrow afternoon, Sunday, May 5th at the Rays at 1:40 p.m.
