WASHINGTON -- As Mickey Callaway's first season as manager of the New York Mets winds to an end, he's receiving more chances to see the club's young pitchers in key spots out of the bullpen.
He had to be pleased with how they fared late in a 5-4 victory over the Washington Nationals on Thursday night.
Jose Lobaton hit a go-ahead sacrifice fly against his former team in the 12th inning, while Jacob Rhame (1-2) worked two scoreless innings after entering the night with a 7.00 ERA.
"He threw the ball over the plate," Callaway said.
