The Mets go for the series sweep this afternoon in Queens against the Rockies as this blogger finds himself in an unusual situation. I usually write these articles before 6 AM and the Rockies, who will be playing 6 hours and 15 minutes from this exact moment (5:45 AM) still have not announced a starter yet. Last night the Rockies announced that the planned starter, Tyler Chatwood, is suffering elbow inflmation and will be bumped. Anyway last night Harvey was masterful in a 4 hit shutout as Wilmer Flores had his first two major league hits with 3 huge insurance RBI’s. Dillon Gee will get the nod today against the Rockies mystery man.
Dillon Gee is 7-8 on the season with a 3.97 ERA pitching 131.1 innings. His last start was a nice bounce back as he allowed only 1 ER over 7 innings of work and now has allowed 1 ER or fewer over 6.2 innings or more in three of his last four starts. He faced Colorado before this season and it was a rough game as he allowed 5 ER over 4.2 innings and 7 hits. The Rockies have the following numbers against Gee:
Herrera 0-7
Cuddyer 2-5, 2B
Gonzalez 3-4, HR
Helton 2-5, 2B
Tulo 2-5
Fowler 0-3
Lets Go Mets!
