Mets pitching is heating up, led by rookie Zac Thornton’s dazzling debut—a six-inning shutout that extends his 18-inning scoreless streak, the longest by a Mets rookie in a decade. After a rollercoaster call-up-and-send-down journey, Thornton’s dominance (including a seven-inning gem vs. the Red Sox) signals he’s here to stay, adding firepower to a young core already featuring Nolan McLean and Christian Scott. The emergence of Thornton raises big questions about Clay Holmes’ future: should the Mets trade the recovering closer for a haul, or keep him to build a four-ace rotation? With Skubal looming as a free agent and a true ace still needed, Thornton and Scott are laying the foundation for a much stronger pitching staff ahead.
