Williams tossed four innings in relief Tuesday in the Mets' 2-1 win over the Marlins in the second game of a doubleheader. He gave up a run on five hits and no walks while striking out six.

With starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard (elbow) limited to one inning in his return from the 60-day injured list, Williams was needed to work in bulk relief behind him. Williams looked good during his time on the mound, with his six strikeouts marking his highest total since July 25. After tossing 70 pitches Tuesday, Williams likely won't be available out of the bullpen again until Sunday's season finale in Atlanta.
