The Mets walked off the the Chicago White Sox 2-1 on Monday afternoon at Citi Field.
Here are the takeaways...
- Adrian Houser struggled during his brief time with the Mets, and he was DFA'd after just 69.1 innings. As expected, though, the righty was spectacular making his first outing back at Citi Field -- holding New York to just two baserunners while striking out six the first two times through the order.
- Luckily for the Mets, Clay Holmes did a good job of matching Houser early on. The right-hander found himself in immediate danger as the White Sox pushed a man into scoring position with a leadoff walk and a groundout in the first, but a diving stop from Pete Alonso helped end the threat.
