The Mets try to figure things out as the Padres come to town tonight. Last night the Mets lost the rubber game against the Brew Crew after sending the game to the 13th inning on a 1-1 tie. There is only so much you can ask of the bullpen without run support and in the top of the 13th they allowed 4 runs and the Mets could never recover. Tonight Colon takes a turn at the helm as he faces off against Andrew Cashner.
Colon is 5-5 on the season over 12 starts and 77.1 innings with a 4.31 ERA. In his last four starts he has pitched 28.0 innings with 23 strikeouts and a 1.61 ERA. In his career he has made three starts against the Padres totaling 18.0 innings with a 1.50 ERA. However, most of the current Padres have seen very little of Colon:
- Quentin 3-4, 2B
- Alonso 0-1
- Cabrera 1-1
- Denorfia 0-1
- Headley 0-1
- Maybin 0-1
- Venable 0-1
The Mets go searching for their bats again tonight against Andrew Cashner who is 2-5 over 10 games and 63.1 innings with a 2.13 ERA. In his last two starts he has pitched 13.0 innings with 11 strikeouts and one earned run. He also faced the Mets in a limited capacity last year allowing 1 hit over 2.2 innings of work. The Mets have the following numbers against him:
- C Yount 2-5, HR
- Wright 1-4, HR
- Duda 0-2
- Granderson 0-3
- Murphy 0-2
- Tejada 0-1
Lets Go Mets!
