The Mets head off for a road trip tonight to St. Louis to take on the Cardinals tonight. Yesterday they picked up the win after needing the bullpen to pitch 8 innings with Daisuke leaving after the first due to illness. The bullpen held it together and the offense was able to scratch out three runs for a victory. Jacob deGrom will get the start tonight as he goes up against Carlos Martinez.
Jacob deGrom is 0-3 over 6 starts and 36.2 innings with a 3.44 ERA. In the month of June he has made two starts pitching 10.2 innings allowing 7 ER, 4 BB, and 7 K’s. Jacob was not in the majors earlier this season when the Cardinals came to Queens thus deGrom has no major league statistics against the Cardinals.
Carlos Martinez is 0-3 this season over 30 games and 34.2 innings of work while posting a 4.67 ERA. Tonight will be his first start of the season, he made one start in 2013 with 20 relief appearances. Carlos has had very limited time on the mound against the Mets this year recording one out and that’s it. The Mets have the following numbers against Carlos:
- Wright 0-2
- Duda 0-1
- Murphy 0-1
Lets Go Mets!
