The Mets dropped their forth game in a row yesterday as the Diamondbacks clawed out a comeback win against the Amazin’s in Queens. In today’s game the Mets look to rebound with Johan Santana on the mound as he takes on Patrick Corbin of the Diamondbacks, the second rookie in a row the Mets will face.
Johan Santana is 0-2 on the season with a 2.25 ERA over 24.0 innings and 4 starts. In that 24.0 innings, he has walked 11 BB and 29 K. The last time he faced the Diamondbacks was back in 2008 where he pitched 13.0 innings over 2 games allowing only 1 ER with 7 BB and 18 K. The Diamondbacks have the following numbers against Santana:
Bloomquist 3-14
McDonald 1-13
Overbay 1-11

The Mets bats will another shot a rookie tonight, this time Patrick Corbin. In his major league debut this year he pitched 5.2 innings allowing 3 ER over 8 hits with 3 BB and 6 K. He was 2-0 in AA this year over 4 starts and 27.0 innings with a 1.67 ERA with 25 K. Last season he was 9-8 in 160.1 innings with an ERA of 4.21. The Mets bats will look to score more runs against Corbin as yesterday they were able to get to Wade only once.
