McLean's Rough Start, Mets Win Anyway

About this episode

The Mets secured a win against the Braves despite a challenging outing from pitcher Nolan McLean.

The Mets pulled off a gritty win over the Braves despite a rocky start for pitcher Nolan McLean, who threw 42 pitches in one inning and walked several batters — so much so that manager Carlos Mendoza nearly pulled him. McLean admitted he wasn’t ready for that pitch count and struggled with his off-speed stuff, as Braves hitters kept fouling pitches off. But he battled through, finishing with 93 pitches, two runs, four walks, and six strikeouts — earning praise for his effort even if he wasn’t thrilled with his performance. The Mets, still four and a half games out of a wild card spot, will look to keep momentum rolling in their next matchup against the Braves.
