The Mets will try to move beyond yesterday’s frustrating game and get back on the winning page against the Cardinals tonight as Matt Harvey takes on Jamie Garcia. Yesterday the Mets got into a hole early but scratched back thanks to two 2-Run homers. At the end, the Mets couldn’t drive in runners in scoring position and a little scuffle with the umpires brought the Mets down. But enough about yesterday, let’s move on to today. Matt Harvey is 3-3 in 7 starts this season with a 2.76 ERA over 42.1 innings. He is 2-2 in his last four starts with a 2.08 ERA pitching 26.0 innings while striking out 26 batters. Matt Harvey has never faced the Cardinals or anyone on their roster, so he has no stats against anyone in the lineup tonight.
Jamie Garcia is 3-6 over 14 starts this season pitching 85.2 innings with an ERA of 4.52. In his last two starts he has pitched 11.1 innings while allowing 10 ER. Garcia hasn’t faced the Mets yet this season, last year he pitched 7.0 innings against the amazin’s and allowed 4 runs and 0 earned runs. The Mets have the following numbers against Garcia:
Wright 2-8
Cedeno 2-6
Torres 1-5, 2B
Bay 0-4
Hairston 2-3, HR
Turner 0-3
Duda 0-1
Let’s Go Mets!
