Mets Prospects Shine, Injuries Heal

0:00It's May 3rd. I'm Corey with The Story. This is New York Metz News today, driven by AI and Built for Fans. Metz pitching prospect Jonah Tonge turned head Saturday in triple A Syracuse, firing a one-hitter over six innings against Lehigh Valley. He struck out six, walked two, and carried a no-hitter into the sixth. At 22 years old, Tonge leaves the minors with 44 strikeouts this season, despite a 4.60 ERA over seven starts. After this week, Tonge struggled in his first month up there, but this outing shows his potential. Last year, he made five starts for the big club. Metz, with a rough 7.72 ERA, so the organization is keeping a close eye as he builds. Back up. Meanwhile, new Metz outfielders Austin Slater and Andy Ebenez got their chances against the Angels and delivered. Slater went two for three with a run scored, while Ebenez had one hit in a sacrifice fly. Major Carlos Mendoza says they've earned those spots with solid careers at this level.

1:01Friday brought more good vibes from Christian Scott, who bounced back strong after a walk, plagued return from Tommy John's surgery. He went five innings, allowed three earned runs on a two run homer, Fand Eight, and didn't walk a soul. Mendoza praised his cool head, calling him a mature kid who stays even killed. On the injury front, Jorge Palanco started field batting practice while rehabbing a risk contusion and Achilles issue. With these arms heating up and role players stepping in, the Metz stayed balanced at 305 and 305 all time in interleague. Play.
