The New York Mets' pitching staff continues to face challenges as the All-Star break approaches. Nolan McLean and Christian Scott stand out as consistent players in the rotation, while Zach Thornton had a strong performance over seven innings against the Red Sox, despite not earning the win. Devin Williams struggled as he blew a save in a recent game, contributing to ongoing concerns within the bullpen.
