The Mets had another disappointing series with the Diamondbacks but now they need to move on and focus on the Giants as the Amazin’s find themselves in San Francisco for the weekend. Tonight Jacob deGrom looks to put things back on the right track as the bats look to crack Madison Bumgarner.
Jacob is 7-5 over 21 starts and 133.1 innings with a 2.30 ERA. In his last four starts, deGrom has pitched 27.2 innings allowing only 2 ER which is an ERA of 0.65 while striking out 26 batters. Earlier this season he faced the Giants allowing 2 hits and 3 runs, none earned over 6.0 innings while recording the win. The Giants have the following numbers on deGrom:
- Belt 2-6, 3 BB
- Pence 2-8, 2B
- Span 2-8
- Crawford 0-8, 4 K
- Panik 0-6
- Posey 0-5
- Blanco 0-3
Last time the Mets faced Bumgarner, it was a marquee event as he was facing the rising ace on the squad in Noah Syndergaard. Today he faces the established ace in Jacob deGrom, so still a marquee event. Since facing the Mets, Bumgarner has continued his dominance. He’s 11-7 over 25 starts with a lead leaguing 4 complete games and a league leading 170.2 innings while posting a 2.11 ERA. In his last two starts he has pitched 15.0 innings, 1 ER while striking out 15. Against the Mets earlier this year, he allowed no runs and 6 hits over 6.0 innings while striking out 7. The Mets have the following numbers against Madison:
- Bruce 3-20, HR
- Walker 4-16
- K Johnson 6-18
- Loney 2-13, 2B
- Flores 1-9, 2B
- Reyes 3-6
- d’Arnaud 0-3
- Granderson 0-3
Let’s Go Mets!
