Last night the Mets were no-hit. If there was anything that could light a fire under this team, hopefully it was last night. At the end of the day, a loss is a loss and last night isn’t like the Mets lost 5 games, they lost just one. Hopefully the offense rebounds tonight seeing an old friend in Travis d’Arnaud and can start a new streak.
Matt Harvey will be taking the mound and hopefully he’s brings his “I’m angry A game”. He’s 6-3 over 11 games and 73.2 innings with a 3.05 ERA. He’s coming off a strong effort where he allowed 2 ER over 7.0 innings and struck out 9 in a game where he didn’t have his best stuff early on. In one start against the Giants in 2013 he allowed 3 ER over 7.0 innings with 7 strikeouts. The Giants have the following numbers against Harvey:
- Blanco 0-7
- Belt 0-5
- Posey 4-5, 2B, HR
- Crawford 1-5
- Pence 1-3, 3B
The Mets bats will try to actually get a hit against Tim Hudson who is 3-5 over 11 starts and 69.1 innings with a 4.41 ERA. In his last two starts he has allowed 3 ER over 14.0 innings and 12 hits with 10 strikeouts. Last year in two starts against the Mets he allowed 6 runs, 5 earned over 10.0 innings. The Mets have the following numbers against Hudson:
- Duda 12-30, 2 2B, HR
- Tejada 9-25, 2B
- Cuddyer 6-22, 2B, HR
- Mayberry 4-15, 2 HR
- Granderson 1-10, HR
- Lagares 1-8
Lets Go Mets!
