Waldichuk (1-2) gave up four earned runs on five hits and no walks while striking out four over five innings to tally the win in a 10-4 victory over the Mets on Saturday.
Waldichuk allowed two home runs and threw only 71 pitches but was awarded the win thanks to an unusually ineffective Jacob deGrom and some poor outfield defense by the Mets. It was Waldichuk's first major-league win. The 24-year-old left-hander has made five starts since being called up at the beginning of September and has given up three runs or more in four of the outings. He is tentatively expected to make his next start at Seattle.
