Jonah Tong was as advertised in his MLB debut.
The New York Mets' offense made sure to give him some support, too.
The end result was a 19-9 Mets win, one that saw the hosts score 12 runs across the first two innings against the Miami Marlins.
Tong was sharp enough in his five innings of work, giving up six hits and four runs (only one earned) while striking out six and walking none.
He became just the second pitcher in MLB history to win his debut while having his team score 19 or more runs in the game, according to OptaStats.

The only other time that has happened was in 1935. That's when Earl Huckleberry made his debut for the Philadelphia Athletics in a game they won over the Chicago White Sox, 19-7.
There's one problem with the Huckleberry comparison: That was the only start he ever made in Major League Baseball. It wasn't even particularly sharp, as he gave up seven runs and just had his offense do so much better.
Huckleberry doesn't even show any record of a minor league career. He was born in 1910 in Konawa, Oklahoma and died in 1999 at 88 years old in Seminole, Oklahoma.
In between, he won the only major league game he ever pitched.
Tong will surely pitch plenty more, and likely win many more, too. With his arrival paired with Nolan McLean, it's an exciting time to be the Mets.
