Mets’ Jonah Tong Matches 90-Year-Old MLB Debut Feat

Tong earned the win in his MLB debut as the Mets crushed Miami 19-9, striking out six over five innings with just one earned run. According to OptaSTATS, he’s the first pitcher since Earl Huckleberry in 1935 to debut with a win while his team scored 19+ runs. The 22-year-old may now push for a postseason rotation spot.
