Frankie Montas Struggles in Bulk Relief Role for Mets

New York Mets pitcher Frankie Montas had a difficult outing in a bulk relief appearance against the Brewers on Saturday, allowing three runs on three hits and two walks over just three innings while throwing 72 pitches. Despite the Mets' attempt to bypass his usual first-inning struggles, Montas gave up a game-tying solo home run to Brice Turang, contributing to the team's loss. His role on the roster is now in question as he holds a 6.38 ERA across eight appearances this season, with top prospects Nolan McLean and Brandon Sproat potentially nearing a big-league promotion.
