MIAMI \u2014 Max Kranick aced his first real test in a Mets uniform on Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With the Mets trailing 2-1 in the eighth inning in Houston, the right-hander entered a bases-loaded jam and retired the only two batters he faced. <\/p>\n
He had last appeared in a major league game in 2022, with the Pirates.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI definitely had some jitters all series long,\u201d Kranick said. \u201cMy heart was racing [Saturday].\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Mets aren\u2019t hitting, but their bullpen has been a positive through the first three games. <\/p>\n
That unit combined to pitch 10 \u00b2\/\u2083 scoreless innings against the Astros.\u00a0<\/p>\n
All eight Mets relievers appeared in the series without duplication, giving manager Carlos Mendoza a rested bullpen heading into Monday against the Marlins.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kranick, who was one of the last additions to the bullpen, impressed team officials in spring training with his 97-mph heat and ability to pitch multiple innings.<\/p>\n
Jos\u00e9 Butt\u00f3 and Huascar Brazob\u00e1n are others who can give the Mets extended appearances from the bullpen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe talked about at the beginning of the series trying to find [Kranick] a soft spot,\u201d Mendoza said. \u201cAnd there he was in the eighth inning, down one and facing one of the best hitters in the league [Yordan Alvarez], so he got the job done.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mets top pitching prospect Brandon Sproat had a rough outing in his season debut for Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday. <\/p>\n
The right-hander allowed four runs on three hits with three walks and three strikeouts. <\/p>\n
Sproat started seven games for Syracuse last season and pitched to a 7.53 ERA after dominating at Double-A Binghamton.\u00a0<\/p>\n
David Peterson, Kodai Senga and Clay Holmes are the scheduled starters for the series in Miami. <\/p>\n
The lefty Peterson led all Mets starting pitchers with a 2.90 ERA last season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
