If Tuesday night was a test for Corey Oswalt to continue starting for the Mets, he just may have passed.
Oswalt pitched in place of David Peterson, who was a late scratch from his fifth start of the year due to what the Mets are calling left shoulder fatigue. The right-hander went 4.1 innings and allowed two earned runs on five hits with no walks and four strikeouts in the Mets’ 8-3 win over the Marlins. Tuesday night was the most encouraging outing the Amazin’s had seen from Oswalt this year.
