Mets completely fall apart in loss to Pirates after Carlos Mendoza’s questionable Christian Scott decision
NY Post
PITTSBURGH — Christian Scott was rolling with two outs in the sixth inning Monday at 77 pitches when his manager went to the mound and asked for the baseball.
All hell was about to break loose for the Mets.
The flurry after Carlos Mendoza removed his starter included a walk, three singles (two of which weren’t hit particularly hard), double, error, wild pitch and homer.
Eric Orze, in his major league debut, lit the fire and Adrian Houser behind him turned it into an inferno in an 8-2 loss to the Pirates at PNC Park.
Mendoza said it was decided before the game that the rookie Scott, pitching on four days’ rest for the first time in his career, would be held to 75 pitches.
Especially given that Scott had thrown 99 pitches in his last outing.
