The Mets look to take the series today against the Brewers as they play game three in a four game set! The Mets got a third consecutive good start from Matt Harvey last night but the offense took a slumber instead of the lumber and the game went into extras. The Mets were able to push across a run in extra innings and the Mets were able to take the game. Now the Mets, who have had to play a lot of baseball this past week, find themselves a bit taxed heading into the last two games before the off-day.
The Mets turn to Logan Verrett today due to the double-header earlier in the week. He’s 3-3 over 18 games and 3 starts this year with a 3.22 ERA over 36.1 innings. He started back to back games early in the season when deGrom was down and pitched 12.0 innings allowing no runs and 9 hits while striking out 10. His last start wasn’t good at all as he allowed 7 ER over 2.2 innings in Colorado. Last year he recorded two clean innings against the Brewers allowing nothing but a walk. The Brewers have the following numbers against Logan:
- Braun 0-1
- Gennett 0-1
- Hill 0-0, BB
- Lucroy 0-1
The Mets draw Wily Peralta today who is 3-7 over 12 games with a 6.79 ERA over 61.0 innings and a league leading 92 hits. After a terrible start against the Padres in mid-May where he allowed 6 earned runs over 4.2 innings, he has more or less pitched average for the rest of the month. His last start was a disaster though allowing 6 runs, 7 hits over 4.1 innings. He took the loss in one start against the Mets last year allowing 5 earned runs over 5.0 innings with 9 hits. The Mets have the following numbers against Wily:
- Walker 4-16, 2B, HR
- Granderson 5-11, 2 2B, 2 HR
- Flores 1-6
- Rivera 0-3
- Cabrera 1-3
- Conforto 2-3, HR
- Lagares 2-3
Let’s Go Mets!
