PITTSBURGH — Edwin Diaz apologized to Mets teammates when he realized he would be suspended 10 games for violating MLB’s sticky substance rule.
“I apologized to the guys because I was leaving them for 10 games and it was basically 11 games because that day I didn’t pitch,” Diaz said Saturday. “After that, everyone was with me. They had my back. Everything was good.”
In his return, Diaz fired a scoreless ninth inning — with a hit batter — for the save in the Mets’ 5-2 victory over the Pirates at PNC Park.
