Oh, Nothing

Christian Scott shares a Mets pitching distinction with Bob Moorhead, Chris Schwinden, Brent Strom, Mike Birkbeck, Collin McHugh, and Tommy Milone: each started at least five games for the Mets and never earned a victory as a starter. Scott leads the group by far, reaching a fifteenth Met start without a win. In his latest start in Miami, he pitched five and two-thirds innings and allowed no runs, but the Mets provided no run support, leaving him with a no-decision. The Mets were shut out for the sixth time in 2026, scoring two runs or fewer in 23 of 53 games, going 1-22 in those contests. The game remained scoreless through nine innings, with multiple pitchers holding the Marlins scoreless and defensive plays limiting threats.

"They are the only pitchers in Mets history to start at least five games as a Met and never record a victory as a Met starter. Scott holds the record by a mile, with the no-decision he racked up Sunday in Miami serving as his fifteenth start in search of a win. The previous markholder was Moorhead, who never won in seven Met starts. Schwinden tried his luck six times. The others listed took five shots at a W."

"Unlike his predecessors in this category, Scott still has a chance to win a start for the Mets. Or he would if the Mets didn't go about their business so Metsishly. In his fifteenth career start as a Met, Christian was as good as he's ever been, going five-and-two-thirds innings and allowing no runs. He could have departed as the pitcher of record on the winning side had his teammates given him one run with which to work. They did not."

"The Mets were shut out for the sixth time in 2026. In 23 of their 53 games to date, the Mets have scored no more than two runs. They are 1-22 in those contests. Christian Scott did not start all of them. Sunday's game stayed nothing-nothing from the top of the first clear to the bottom of the ninth. If Scott was on his game, so was everybody else who pitched for both sides."

"It was a good day most of the day to be someone who threw the ball. Like Scott. Like Huascar Brazobán, Brooks Raley, and Luke Weaver, who blanked the Marlins for a combined two-and-a-third. Like A.J. Ewing, who fired a strike from center to home to cut down the Marlins' most imminent scoring threat, nailing Javier Sanoja running from second. The arms had it. The bats didn't."
