Hurt by long ball Saturday Tong (1-1) took the loss Saturday as the Mets fell 6-3 to the Reds, giving up four runs on three hits -- all home runs -- and four walks over six innings. He struck out six.
Impact Making his second big-league start, Tong fought his control and command, tossing 57 of 96 pitches for strikes and finding it difficult to keep the ball in cozy Great American Ball Park. The right-hander was still able to give New York six innings however, and the team seems committed to its youth movement in the rotation with Brandon Sproat set to make his MLB debut Sunday. Tong lines up to make his next trip to the mound at home next weekend against the Rangers.

Now trending toward Saturday start Tong appears in line to make his next start Saturday against the Reds in Cincinnati, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
Impact The Mets had initially confirmed that Tong would take the hill for the series opener Friday, but David Peterson will instead start that contest while the rookie right-hander gets pushed back a day. Tong will be starting on seven days' rest coming off a promising MLB debut versus the Marlins this past Friday, when he struck out six and allowed four runs (one earned) on six hits and no walks over five innings en route to picking up a win.

Awarded another start Tong will remain in the rotation during the upcoming week and is set to make his next start Friday in Cincinnati.
Impact After being called up from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday, Tong cruised to an easy win in his MLB debut, striking out six batters while allowing four runs (one earned) on six hits and no walks in the Mets' 19-9 rout of the Marlins. Tong -- who led the minors with 179 punchouts prior to his promotion -- did his part to earn a second start, though the top prospect's ability to stick around in the rotation throughout September could hinge heavily on how he performs Friday at hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park. A poor showing against the Reds could put Tong at risk of a demotion to Triple-A or a move to the bullpen, as Tylor Megill (elbow) is in the midst of a rehab assignment and could be ready to return from the 60-day injured list the next time the Mets would need a sixth starter. The Mets could also keep spots open in the six-man rotation for both Tong and eventually Megill by moving Clay Holmes to the bullpen, as Holmes is working as a full-time starter for the first time since 2018 and has already more than doubled up his innings count from 2024.

Collects win in first career start Tong (1-0) earned the win against the Marlins on Friday, allowing four runs (one earned) on six hits while striking out six across five innings. He did not issue a walk.
Impact The 22-year-old Tong looked composed in his major-league debut, keeping the Marlins off the board through the first four innings. The Marlins managed to end the scoreless bid by bringing home four runs in the fifth (though only one was charged to Tong due to an error and a wild pitch), but the Mets provided plenty of run support for him to come away with the win in his major-league debut. Per the Mets' official broadcast, Tong's win Friday and Nolan McLean's victory Aug. 16 marked the first time in franchise history that two starting pitchers got a victory in their major-league debut in the same season. Tong isn't cemented in the Mets' rotation for the rest of the regular season, but he is lined up to take on the Reds on the road next weekend, when he'll look to capture his second win in the majors.
