In a significant milestone, Christian Scott pitched into the seventh inning for the first time since his Tommy John surgery. His performance contributed to the New York Mets’ 4-3 victory against the Washington Nationals on Sunday. The win secured a three-game series sweep for the Mets.
Luis Torrens played a pivotal role in the game, hitting a two-run homer that bolstered the Mets’ offense. This victory reflects the Mets’ recent surge and solidifies their position in the standings as they continue to push forward in the season.
Scott gave up three runs and struck out seven, one shy of his career high, over 6 1/3 innings — his longest outing since his big league debut on May 4, 2024, when went 6 2/3 innings against the Tampa Bay Rays. The right-hander made eight more starts before having the reconstructive elbow surgery three months later. Mets RHP Nolan McLean pitches Monday against San Diego RHP Walker Buehler to open a three-game set.
