After dropping a series 2 games to 3 in Washington, ending the rubber game with an extra inning loss, the Mets head to Philly to hopefully gain some momentum back. Tonight Bartolo Colon takes the mound against AJ Burnett.
Colon is 10-9 on the season in 22 games, 146.1 innings and a 4.12 ERA. After a stretch of good starts, Colon had a hiccup in his last start allowing 8 hits and 6 ER over 4.2 innings in a game the Mets eventually lost 9-0. One characteristic Colon has had this season is when he is off, he is really off. In two starts against the Phillies this year he is 2-0 with a 1.84 ERA over 14.2 innings of work. The Phillies have the following numbers against Colon:
- Rollins 5-18, 2B, HR
- Brignac 5-15
- Byrd 3-8
- Sizemore 1-8
- Howard 2-8, 2 HR
- Ruiz 4-9, 2B
- Revere 3-8
A.J. Burnett is 6-11 over 24 starts and 151.1 innings of work with an ERA of 4.16. His last start against the Mets was horrendous where he allowed 7 ER over 5.0 innings and 8 hits. He followed that up against the Nationals where he pitched 1.2 innings, 5 runs, 1 earned. The Mets have the following numbers against Burnett:
- Wright 3-27, 2B
