The New York Mets have been spiraling over the past few weeks, but Saturday’s 3-1 victory against the Seattle Mariners offered at least one reason to be excited about the immediate future. Starting pitcher Nolan McLean tossed 5.1 scoreless innings and recorded eight strikeouts while only allowing two hits and four walks in his MLB debut. All three pitches were part of an attack that kept Seattle’s hitters on their toes and could be what helps him stay in the Mets’ rotation longer than many might have anticipated. “I couldn’t have dreamed it up any better,” McLean told the New York Post following his first career win.
