The Mets slide continued late last night and now the Mets need to win tonight or face a losing season record. Last night the Mets actually got to Gausman and scored 3 runs over 5.0 innings, not an easy feat. But the Mets pitching couldn’t keep it together and eventually the Mets lost 7-5. Things do not get easier for the Mets tonight as the face Logan Webb who is having a career year.
Logan Webb has pitched in 17 games, 16 starts, over 85.0 innings with a 2.96 ERA, 3.23 FIP, 1.141 WHIP and a 141 ERA+. In his previous two seasons his ERA was north of 5 and his ERA+ was between 80 and 82. Since May 17th he has made 9 starts (47.0 innings) posting a 1.53 ERA. He’s allowed 1 ER over his last two starts and 12.0 innings thrown. The only player on the Mets roster who has faced Webb is Kevin Pillar who is 1-5 with a stolen base against him.
Marcus Stroman takes the mound for the Mets tonight. Over 24 starts and 132.1 innings he has a 2.79 ERA, 3.45 FIP, 1.126 WHIP with a 144 ERA+. In his last two starts he has allowed only 3 runs over 10.1 innings from 8 hits and 3 walks while striking out 13 batters. Since June 27th, Stroman has pitched beyond the 6th inning only once (an 8 inning gem on July 21st). That being said, he’s looked a lot better in his two most recent starts and the Mets can use every possible bit of positive news right now. The Giants have the following numbers against Stroman:
- Alex Dickerson 1-3, HR
- Wilmer Flores 1-2, K
- Kris Bryant 2-6, 2B, 2 K
- Evan Longoria 9-33, 2 2B, 2 HR, 2 BB, 7 K
- Curt Casali 2-6, 2 K
- Brandon Crawford 1-3, K
- Buster Posey 1-3
- Tommy La Stella 1-5, BB
- Donovan Solano 0-1, BB
Let’s Go Mets!
