Tommy Milone allowed two runs and six hits in five plus innings Wednesday during his first start for the Mets since being claimed on waivers this past weekend.
Milone allowed a home run to San Francisco's Buster Posey in the second inning, but then pitched three scoreless innings before being charged with a run in the sixth inning.
He walked two batters and tied a season-high five strikeouts.

"I hadn't started a game in two and a half weeks," he later told reporters, according to MLB.
