Cade Horton Pulled After 3 Innings, 29 Pitches

Related Topics: Brandon Nimmo, Francisco Lindor

Cade Horton allowed a leadoff homer to Francisco Lindor, then a single to Juan Soto, and a deep fly out to Pete Alonso that made it seem as though the rookie was well off his game. Then he coaxed a shallow fly from Brandon Nimmo before striking out Mark Vientos to escape the inning with just one run on 15 pitches. Horton sat the Mets down in order in both the 2nd and 3rd innings on seven pitches apiece, making this look like yet another supremely efficient start.
