Mets’ Christian Scott burned by a home run again in loss to Marlins

MIAMI — Christian Scott’s penchant for getting burned by one pitch has deflated otherwise solid numbers for the Mets.
On Sunday that pitch occurred in the fourth inning, when Jazz Chisholm Jr. blasted a three-run homer against the rookie.
It was the eighth homer allowed by Scott in 47 ¹/₃ innings this season and helped sink the Mets in a 4-2 loss to the Marlins at loanDepot park.
“He’s a guy that throws a lot of strikes and I think that is part of the development at this level,” manager Carlos Mendoza said. “When you are facing big hitters in situations like that, especially when you get ahead in counts, you have to execute pitches.”
Chisholm jumped on a full-count slider for the homer, but Scott said he wasn’t disappointed with the pitch’s placement.
“He made a good swing on it,” Scott said. “If I throw that pitch 100 times I probably get him out most of the times. I didn’t feel like it was a mistake — it was exactly where I wanted it.”
Scott was removed after the inning at 75 pitches.
Overall, he allowed three earned runs on seven hits with four strikeouts and two walks. Scott has pitched to a 4.56 ERA in his eight starts for the Mets.
“It was one of those where they made him work today,” Mendoza said. “They put together some good at-bats … stuff-wise I thought he was OK, but at this level you have to continue to make pitches.”
