NEW YORK -- The Mets made a pair of moves Monday, firing hitting coach Dave Hudgens and releasing reliever Jose Valverde after a 5-3 defeat against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Memorial Day.
Hudgens, a longtime friend of general manager Sandy Alderson, was in his fourth season as hitting coach. He will be replaced by minor-league hitting coordinator Lamar Johnson.
Valverde surrendered four runs Monday as rookie Jacob deGrom was deprived of his first major league win despite tossing 6 2/3 scoreless innings.
Vic Black will be promoted from Triple-A Las Vegas to take Valverde's bullpen spot.
