Mets’ Reed Garrett keeps getting it done in high-pressure spots
NY Post
Reed Garrett waits for the phone to ring, but it might as well be an alarm.
Through nearly four weeks of the season, there hasn’t been a better fireman in baseball.
“I think it’s just one of those things where the phone rings and my name is being called, and things have gone well so far,” Garrett said before the Mets beat the Phillies 5-1 at Citi Field on Tuesday.
Entering play, no one in MLB had inherited more base runners (nine) without allowing one to score.
Garrett, who himself had pitched 9 ²/₃ innings without an earned run, had not allowed anyone else’s runner to score, either.
Garrett routinely enters danger and routinely leaves still breathing (and often roaring off the mound).
