Mets' Scott Flops in Debut, Bullpen Holds

0:00On April 24th, the New York Mets called up right-handed Christian Scott from triple A Syracuse to start against the Minnesota twins, hoping he'd spark. Their shaky rotation, with Cody Sanga and David Peterson struggling and Scott off to a hot start in the minors, this was his shot at a big league win after a long layoff. But it went south fast. Scott lasted just 1.1 innings, giving up one run, walking five batters, hitting another, and even balking. He threw more balls than strikes, facing 10 hitters total before getting inked. Fans at Cityfield let him have it, booing loudly as he walked off the mound. The bullpin jumped in early, with Tobias Meyer stranding inherited runners to hold a 3-1 lead. It's a tough look for a team already on a 12-game losing streak. Now the Mets lean on rested relievers like Myers and Sean Manaya to finish this one. Scott's likely heading back to Syracuse tomorrow, while they shuffle the roster sending down Austin Warren means a 15-day wait, unless they use the injured list.

1:01Fresh arms like Jonathan Pentaro or others could debut this weekend against the Colorado Rockies. Rotation Wells-Linger, with Sanga pushback and Peterson in long relief for now. Scott's flop sting short-term, but the Mets still see potential in him down the road as they dig out of this hole. This has been MLB News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story.
