On Tuesday night against the Atlanta Braves, following a clunker of an outing his last time out in Cleveland, Nolan McLean allowed just one hit through six innings.
Unfortunately for the right-hander, that one hit, a home run by Ozzie Albies, was enough to beat him and the Mets who were shut out against Martin Perez and the Braves bullpen in a 4-0 loss.
Any other day, especially lately as New York's offense has been red-hot, McLean's outing would've been more than enough to earn him a win. Still, he and interim manager Andy Green were pleased with how he threw the ball.
"He was great," Green said. "I thought he bounced back early from being behind consistently and he managed to get out of those in the first couple of innings, avoided hits early because of that.
"Pitched behind more than he'd like to or we'd like him to, [but he] really found his groove there for a while. Just great six innings of work. One pitch that I'm sure he wants back."
