Right-hander Christian Scott<\/strong><\/a> has provided the New York Mets<\/a> with reliable outings after returning from the Injured List earlier this season. During the series finale against the Atlanta Braves<\/a>, Scott recorded seven strikeouts, five hits and one earned run. In the sixth, he did run into trouble, giving up three hits and a run. That was his lone mistake of the evening, as the Braves beat the Mets, 1\u20130. He ended the game with a 3\u20133 record and a 2.99 ERA across 15 appearances.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought [Scott] was great. Going into the sixth he was pushed at a point in time to get that out with the bases loaded was huge,\u201d interim manager Andy Green<\/strong><\/a> said. \u201cHe kept us in the game. Giving us a chance to win. In six innings you punch seven. Pretty dominant, only one walk. Went toe-to-toe with one of the best in the league.\u201d<\/p>\n

Christian Scott is Consistent<\/h4>\n

At the start of his second season in Queens, Scott was promoted to the major league roster as a replacement for Kodai Senga<\/strong><\/a>, who dealt with an injury. The 27-year-old righty made an immediate impact, going 4\u20132 in his first six outings. He punched out more than five batters on three separate occasions, including a season-high of eight.<\/p>\n

Christian Scott picked up more steam in June, winning all three of his appearances with 15 total strikeouts and six earned runs. Yet, his season was put on hold by a right hip injury that sidelined him for a portion of June. Upon making his return, the righty owned a 2\u20134 in his next six appearances. He tallied seven strikeouts on three separate occasions. For those reasons, the Mets began utilizing him as a regular member of the pitching staff.<\/p>\n

Against the Braves, Christian Scott kept them scoreless through five innings, including three consecutive fast innings. He struck out six batters up to that point, including All-Star slugger\u00a0Matt Olson<\/strong><\/a> twice. His outing was overshadowed when he unraveled in the sixth. He didn\u2019t get much support from the Mets, who recorded only two hits and were struck out 12 times.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like I did a good job of attacking the zone early, especially in the first couple of innings. Put them on their heels and be able to expand when I needed to,\u201d Scott said. \u201cI feel like my cutter was playing really good today, right? I’m also able to have multiple options to go to when I need them.\u201d<\/p>\n
