MIAMI — Corey Oswalt would have to wear glitter on his uniform to be considered flashy, but the rookie right-hander is getting enough outs to keep the Mets confident he can fit this rotation in some manner.
Saturday night he was long removed from the game by the time it concluded on Bryan Holaday’s walkoff RBI single in the 11th inning against Jacob Rhame that gave the Marlins a 4-3 victory over the Mets. But Oswalt’s positives outweighed letdowns by an inconsistent lineup that has sputtered for much of the season.
Oswalt kept the Mets competitive by allowing three earned runs on six hits and one walk over six innings.
