A day after arriving to the Mets from Triple-A Syracuse with the thought he would be a bullpen option, Jose Butto was on the mound for his second career major league start.
Inserted into the rotation because of Max Scherzer’s back soreness, the right-hander gave the Mets a chance Sunday by allowing one run over five innings in the team’sButto endured plenty of traffic — he allowed five hits and walked four — but managed to avoid serious damage.
“I’m really proud of Butto today — that was delivered in a time of need,” manager Buck Showalter said. Butto said his velocity has increased since spring training — he averaged 94.2 mph with his four-seamer on Sunday — and was pleased with his performance. Butto had a cameo with the Mets last August and allowed seven earned runs in four innings against the Phillies.
Scherzer played catch before the game and is “doing well,” according to Showalter. The Mets co-ace was pushed back in the rotation until Wednesday because of back discomfort. Scherzer is scheduled to pitch against Noah Syndergaard in the series finale against the Dodgers.Francisco Alvarez received his first back-to-back start at catcher since his recall from Triple-A Syracuse on April 7.
The A’s held a ceremony before the game to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1973 World Series winning team that beat the Mets in seven games. Reggie Jackson, Rollie Fingers and Vida Blue were among the former A’s stars who attended the celebration.
