Milone tossed five innings in his Mets debut Wednesday, giving up two runs on six hits and two walks with five strikeouts against the Giants.
Although he left with a lead, he didn't figure into the decision thanks to closer Jeurys Familia's ninth-inning implosion. This was a nice first impression for the 30-year-old Milone, who appears likely to hold down a rotation spot until the Mets get Steven Matz back from an elbow injury.
