Trevor Rosenthal’s first big league appearance since August of 2017 didn’t go well. At all. He failed to retire any of the four batters he faced, couldn’t keep the ball down in the zone, and his outing ended after he’d loaded the bases and given up a two-run hit broke up a 4-4 tie.
“He couldn’t get the ball down,” manager Davey Martinez told reporters after the New York Mets rallied for four in the eighth and three more in the ninth in what ended up an 11-8 win for the visiting team in the nation’s capital.
