The Mets beat the Marlins 7-1 last night with David Wright going 4-4 and the Mets look to take their third series in a row today as Daisuke Matsuzaka takes the mound. On the season he is 3-3 over 25 games and 8 starts with a 3.32 ERA over 65.0 innings. After back to back starts of allowing 5 ER in his last outing against the Braves he didn’t allow any runs over 7.0 innings. He has allowed 4 runs, 3 earned in 6.2 innings of work against the Marlins this year who have the following numbers against him:
- Mathis 1-11
- Stanton 3-10
- Hechavarria 2-7, 3B
- Salty 5-7, 3 2B
- Jones 1-4
- McGehee 1-5
The Mets bats will get another look this season at Tom Koehler who is 6-7 over 18 starts and 106.1 innings with a 3.98 ERA. He is coming off of his worst start of the season where he allowed 7 ER over 3.0 innings, the second time this season he has allowed 7 ER (the first was over 5.0 innings). Those two starts are weighing heavily on his numbers. The New Rochelle native has pitched against the Mets three times already this year logging 20.0 innings with a 2.70 ERA. The Mets have the following numbers against him:
- Murphy 5-19, HR
- Wright 6-17, 3 2B
- Duda 2-14, 2B
- Tejada 3-13, 2B
- Lagares 3-12
- E Young 1-10, 2B
Lets Go Mets!
