Last night was an odd one, but we won, so everything is good! Syndergaard was supposed to start last night but during the day, the Mets switched him and Colon so Noah can get more rest after his amazing outing last time out. Things weren’t so good for Colon as he had to leave the game almost immediately last night after being hit by a comebacker. The Mets bullpen held on though!
Syndergaard is 7-2 on the year over 14 games and 13 starts pitching 85.0 innings with 106 strikeouts while posting an ERA of 1.91. He’s coming off of his best start this season where he pitched 8.1 innings allowing 2 runs, 1 earned while striking out 11 (he didn’t allow the urns until the 9th). His first start of the season was against the Royals where he held them scoreless over 6.0 innings while striking out 9. The Royals have the following numbers against Syndergaard:
- Cain 2-6
- Escobar 2-6, 3B
- Hosmer 0-5
- Perez 1-4
- Morales 1-3, 2B
Dan Duffy gets the nod for the Royals. He’s 2-1 over 23 games and 7 starts this year with a 3.17 ERA and 54.0 innings. He’s 2-1 over his last 5 starts while logging 28.2 innings with a 4.08 ERA. His first outing of the year was against the Mets where he allowed one hit and a walk over 1.2 innings of relief work. The Mets have the following numbers against Duffy:
- Cabrera 4-10, 2B
- Granderson 1-8
- Cespedes 0-5
- Conforto 1-2, HR
- Rivera 0-2
Let’s Go Mets!
