Those are the stats from Mota’s last 12 games, after the 24th, he really settled down for a while, with a blip on the 5th, and didn’t have a blowup until the 11th, which he follows with a run in the game on the 15th.

Or, lets look at the stats of just August:
IP: 7
ER: 5
SO: 8
ERA: 6.43
K/9: 10.29
Looking at the just the July stats, the ERA is inflated by the 0.2 IP innings pitched on 8/11. His K/9, is high, but not signifcantly better than his good stretch. Lets see what happens when he settles down.
Also, Tim Kurijan reports that the Mets are the first team in 50 years that scored 5 runs in the first and 5 runs in the ninth, and no runs in between.
