The Mets come home after a rough road trip. The road trip started off in Philly and they did great winning 4-1 games, but then they lost three in a row in Chicago, and then three in a row again in San Francisco. Anyway, they try to figure it out against the Brewers and Marco Estrada tonight as the Mets send Matsuzaka out to the mound.
Matsuzaka is 2-0 over 18 games and 2 starts this year totaling 33.2 innings with a 3.21 ERA. His last start against Cubs was pretty bad as he allowed 4 hits and 4 earned runs over 4.1 innings while walking 5 batters. He has made one career start against the Brewers allowing 2 runs, none earned, over 6.2 innings. The Brewers have the following numbers against Daisuke:
- Overbay 7-27, 2 2B, 3 HR
- Gomez 0-7
- Braun 2-4
- Weeks 0-2
- Reynolds 0-2
Estrada is 5-2 over 12 starts and 73.0 innings while posting a 4.19 ERA. In his last 7 starts he is 3-1 over 41.2 innings while posting a 5.18 ERA. Last year against the Mets he allowed 1 ER and 2 hits over 7.0 innings. The Mets have the following numbers against Marco:
- Murphy 1-3
