Canadian Jonah Tong walked in from the bullpen to a loud ovation and took the mound to another boisterous reaction from the sellout crowd. Tong threw six pitches in three minutes and then sat for about 25 minutes. The 22-year-old from Markham, Ont., threw 20 more in the second inning and his break lasted slightly longer. In his anticipated debut, Tong completed his first five innings as a major leaguer on a Friday night when the Mets set a team record for runs in a home game and earned another start in New York's six-man rotation in the midst of a playoff race.
