Scott Dominates as Mets Blank Padres, 5-0

Scott’s effective outing offers the Mets a potential long-term starting option, reducing strain on a rotation in flux.

Overview

  • Christian Scott delivered 5 2/3 scoreless innings on Friday night, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out three and lowering his ERA to 2.50.
  • Jared Young and Luis Torrens provided the primary offense with a solo homer and a two‑run shot that built a lead Scott could protect.
  • Relievers Huascar Brazobán, Luke Weaver and A.J. Minter combined to finish the shutout, and Weaver extended a string of scoreless appearances.
  • Padres starter Michael King took the loss as San Diego’s offense continued a deep slump that has produced very few runs over the club’s recent stretch.
  • Scott’s run of sturdy starts follows his return from Tommy John rehab and pitch‑count management, a trend that could change roster and rotation decisions if it continues.
