Jonah Tong Struggles Through 4.2 Innings in Loss to Phillies

New York Mets rookie starter Jonah Tong allowed four runs over 4.2 innings in a 7-2 loss to the Phillies. Tong endured a scary moment in the first when Bryson Stott stepped on his ankle at first base. Struggling with command on a wet afternoon, he walked four and threw 95 pitches. In three September starts, the 23-year-old right-hander is 1-1 with a 4.60 ERA and 18 strikeouts in 15.2 innings, looking to solidify his rotation spot for next year.
