In his first outing in the Mets organization since signing a two-year deal in the offseason, Frankie Montas pitched 1.1 innings for Single-A Brooklyn on Saturday afternoon.
Rehabbing from a right lat strain he suffered in spring training, the right-hander allowed two earned runs on two hits and two walks while striking out one for the Cyclones. He threw 37 pitches (20 strikes) while on a 30-35 pitch count, the team announced on Friday.
Both of the runs allowed came in the first inning.
Montas walked the leadoff hitter (who stole second and third), but had a strikeout and flyout to put himself in position to get out of the inning. Instead, the 32-year-old gave up a single and a triple to put Brooklyn in an early 2-0 hole. A groundout put an end to the frame.
After walking the leadoff man again in the second, Montas got a groundout that ended his outing.
