Scarce came over from the Philadelphia Phillies, where he put in three seasons out of the bullpen, picking up 21 saves while putting together a 5-18 record over 141 appearances.
Needless to say he didn’t give the Mets the same playing time, and after one batter faced (of which I assume was a sacrifice or HBP), that would be it for Scarce as a New York Met.
He did make it back to the Majors in 1978 with the Minnesota Twins, appearing in 17 games, but that would be it, and the books were closed on what would end up being a 5-year career, with a 6-19 record along with a 3.69 earned run average over 159 games and 209.2 innings pitched.
