New York Mets – The Mets went to Scott Rice in the eighth inning last night up 3 runs, and he responded by pitching a 1-2-3 inning. Rice has made 6 straight scoreless appearances and should continue to be used late in games for the Mets. Hierarchy change: Scott Rice to 2nd in line, replacing Scott Atchison.
