New York Mets pitcher Nolan McLean has been a bright spot in the team’s resurgence over the last few weeks and made history on Wednesday night against the Philadelphia Phillies.

McLean lasted eight innings and struck out six in the 6-0 win over the Phillies, inching New York to within four games of the National League East division lead. With the gem of an outing, he accomplished something neither Tom Seaver, Dwight Gooden, Jacob deGrom nor anyone else in the blue and orange had ever done – win his first three MLB starts.

"He’s a stud, man," Mets infielder Mark Vientos said after the game. "It’s so fun to be a part of what he does on day-to-day basis."

He started the first game of his MLB career on Aug. 16 against the Seattle Mariners. He struck out eight and allowed only two hits in the Mets’ 3-1 win. Last week, he went seven innings against the Atlanta Braves, allowing two runs on four hits in the Mets’ 12-7 win.

The start against Philadelphia on Wednesday was as impressive given the amped-up pressure the organization has on itself going into the final month of the season.
