PITTSBURGH — Stro’ Time is upon the Mets.
“I am the type of guy who gets excited every time I go out there, but this is even more because it’s New York and I’m in a new environment,” Marcus Stroman said Friday before the Mets’ seven-game winning streak was snapped after an 8-4 loss to the Pirates at PNC Park.
His assignment Saturday night in his Mets debut is to get his new team back on the winning track. Stroman arrived in a trade last weekend that sent pitching prospects Anthony Kay and Simeon Woods Richardson to the Blue Jays.
