Christian Scott allowed seven hits and two runs with two walks and five strikeouts across 4 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Tigers on Wednesday.

It was a grind for Scott in nearly every inning he pitched, but he dug deep to hold the Tigers to just two runs. Both scored in the first inning after heavy wind blew a line drive from Mets' right fielder Carson Benge before Riley Greene knocked a liner over a drawn-in infield. Why the infield would be in during the first inning is a valid question, but Scott stopped the bleeding right there. The Tigers struggled to square him up, but he also struggled to put hitters away. Especially left-handers as Scott continues to search for the splitter that was supposed to be his new weapon against them. Nevertheless, his fastball, sweeper, and cutter are all nasty and keep him at least mildly effective on most nights. He's scheduled for a two-start week coming up against the Nationals and Marlins.
