Carlos Torres was triumphant in his return to the Mets' rotation, as he struck out six batters in six innings in a 4-3 win over the Phillies on Sunday. In six of Torres' eight starts this season, including Sunday's victory, he has racked up at least five strikeouts and nine swinging strikes.
Torres did allow two runs on seven hits and three walks, though for the first time since Aug. 29, he did not allow a home run in a start. It was Torres' first start since Sept. 14. He is now 4-5 with a 3.36 ERA.
