Milone allowed one run on six hits and one walk across 4.1 innings in a no-decision Sunday against the Nationals. He struck out five.
Milone opened the game with four scoreless innings, but he ran into a spot of trouble in the fifth, when he allowed three consecutive hits to plate a run. He was removed somewhat abruptly with just 82 pitches under his belt, but the bullpen escaped the jam as the Mets went on to win by one. Milone had struggled mightily in his three previous outings, allowing a whopping 17 runs in just 11.2 innings, so this effort was a bit more encouraging. The left-hander is not currently scheduled to make another start with the Mets, meaning he could slide back in to the bullpen as a long-relief option.
