Mets' Paul Blackburn Wins Fourth Triple-A Rehab Start

New York Mets right-handed pitcher Paul Blackburn secured his fourth rehab win with Triple-A Syracuse on Friday, pitching 5.2 innings and allowing three runs on seven hits in their 9-5 victory over Charlotte. This outing marked his fourth rehab start since his assignment to Triple-A on July 22. Blackburn is currently recovering from a right shoulder impingement that placed him on the 15-day injured list in early July.
