On a night when the Braves celebrated the 30th anniversary of their 1995 World Series title, Mets rookie starter Nolan McLean earned his second MLB win in as many big league starts and helped New York’s offense spoil Atlanta’s fun.

Nolan McLean had just finished up his bullpen session on Wednesday when Triple-A Syracuse pitching coach A.J. Sager had some news to share.

On Baseball Night in NY, Anthony DiComo and Jim Duquette discuss the possibility of another young pitching prospect Brandon Sproat, joining the Mets rotation sooner rather than later.

New York Mets’ color commentator Ron Darling made a glowing comparison after Nolan McLean’s first big league start.

But finishing this marathon has proven challenging: Holmes is averaging less than five innings in his last nine starts, the Mets losing five of them, as he’s posted a 5.02 ERA and his strikeout-walk ratio has shriveled to 1.66.

The first pitch was a ball. The second, Rodríguez lined toward McLean, who fielded the ball on one hop behind his back, and then had the presence of mind to throw to second for a chance at a double-play.

In his MLB debut for the Mets, Nolan McLean struck out eight batters and held the Mariners scoreless across 5.1 innings in a 3-1 victory on Saturday.

The identity of the most successful New York Mets teams has been about pitching. Rarely have they been an organization fully dependent on large offensive number
