The Mets can make it a streak tonight! The Mets are coming off of two wins in a row and have a chance to take the weekend series with the Braves as they sound out Jacob deGrom to face off with Shelby Miller. Last night the Mets received effective pitching from Bartolo Colon as he picked up his 9th win of the season and some timely offense including Wilmer’s 10th jack of the season and Mayberry’s 3rd.
Jacob deGrom is 7-4 with a 2.42 ERA over 12 starts and 78.0 innings while striking out 81 batters. In his last 5 starts he is 4-0 (the Mets are 5-0) as he has tossed 36.1 innings with a 1.24 ERA and 44 strikeouts. He hasn’t faced the Braves yet this season but last year he was 2-1 in 3 starts over 18.0 innings with a 2.00 ERA and 29 strikeouts. The Braves have the following numbers against deGrom:
- Freeman 1-7
- Simmons 1-8
- C Johnson 5-8, 2B
- Bethancourt 0-7, 3 K
- K Johnson 0-1
The Mets bats draw Shelby Miller who is 5-2 over 12 starts with a 1.84 ERA and a league leading 2 complete game shutouts in 78.1 innings. He started off June with by far his worst start of the season, allowing 4 ER over 4.1 innings but rebounded in his last outing allowing only 1 ER over 7.0 innings. The last time Miller faced the Mets was in 2013 where he tossed 11.2 innings over 2 games allowing 4 ER. The Mets have the following numbers against Miller:
- Duda 2-6, HR
- Mayberry 0-5
- Cuddyer 3-3, 2B
- Tejada 0-3
Lets Go Mets!
