McLean Shuts Down Phillies in Stellar Start | New York Mets News

Mets rookie Nolan McLean dazzled in his latest start, tossing six innings of shutout baseball with 10 strikeouts and just two hits allowed, dropping his ERA to a season-low 3.34. Despite the team’s ongoing struggles—16 games under .500—McLean’s dominance helped secure a series win over the Phillies. Lindor launched a two-run homer early, and timely hits from Torrens and Benge kept the offense rolling. McLean’s sinker was key to his success, and he capped his outing by striking out Bryce Harper. Lindor praised his command, and the interim manager noted this kind of breakout rookie season—with highs and lows—is typical for top young arms. McLean’s third career double-digit strikeout game shows he’s on the right track, even if the Mets’ record doesn’t reflect it yet.
