Marcus Stroman trade piece Anthony Kay impressive in MLB debut
When it comes to the Marcus Stroman trade, Saturday was a double-whammy for the Mets.
Anthony Kay allowed just two runs in 5²/\u2083 innings in Toronto’s 5-3 loss to the host Tampa Bay Rays, who have now won nine out of 10 games. Kay, one of the two pitchers the Mets traded to the Blue Jays on July 28 for Stroman, gave up four hits and three walks while striking out an impressive eight batters.
The 24-year-old left-hander left with a 3-2 lead and a chance to win the game, but another former Met, Travis d’Arnaud, and Daniel Robertson drove in runs with two out in the eighth inning to spark the Rays’ comeback win.
