Mets’ Frankie Montas still hoping for another rotation chance after surviving first bullpen taste
NY Post
After surviving his first outing as a long reliever, Frankie Montas would like to think he’s got the hang of his new role.
The displaced starting pitcher pitched the eighth and ninth innings Friday, allowing one run over that stretch, albeit with three hits allowed and two walks.
Montas was bumped from the rotation last week, leaving Nolan McLean with an opportunity to pitch in his major league-winning debut Saturday, which he helped lead the Mets to a 3-1 win over the Mariners at Citi Field.
“They did a good job of giving me time to warm up and everything, so it was pretty good,” Montas, noting that he knew a half-inning ahead of time that he would be pitching.
Montas’ demotion occurred after he pitched to a 6.38 ERA in his first eight appearances with the club, beginning in late June.
The right-hander, who did not pitch in Saturday’s win, missed the first half of the season rehabbing from a high-grade lat strain.
