"Brandon Sproat had the stuff to prove that he can hang in the majors. Too bad the Mets' offense looked like a minor-league crew against Hunter Greene and the Cincinnati Reds. New York bats were held to just two hits against the combination of Cincy's starter for seven innings and a pair of relievers for the final two frames, spoiling Sproat's strong MLB debut in a 3-2 loss on Sunday afternoon to drop the rubber game of its three-game set."
"While Sproat allowed three runs on three hits with seven strikeouts and four walks over six innings, Greene was nearly untouchable for seven innings, allowing just one run on a hit with 12 strikeouts and two walks. His loan blemish came on a third-inning solo home run by Brett Baty, his 16th of the season, then proceeded to retire 14 of the final 16 batters he faced with little issue."
Brandon Sproat made a strong MLB debut, allowing three runs on three hits with seven strikeouts and four walks over six innings. The Mets' offense managed only two hits against Hunter Greene and relievers, producing a 3-2 loss. Greene struck out 12 over seven innings, allowing a third-inning solo homer by Brett Baty before retiring 14 of the final 16 batters. Trailing by two in the ninth, Juan Soto hit a solo home run, his 38th, but Starling Marte grounded into a game-ending double play. The defeat kept the Mets four games ahead for the final NL Wild Card spot.
