Tyler Pill was the medicine the Mets needed on his first start, so lets hope his second dose is just as good. To quote the SNY Booth, Tyler Pill on his first major league start looked like Dillon Gee at his best. Not overpowering, but worked off-speed and location to keep hitters off balance throughout the game. On the season he is 0-1 over 2 starts and relief appearance allowing 2 runs, 7 hits with 4 walks. He doesn’t have a win to show for his start thanks to a dropped popup in the infield. His loss actually came from the Pirates in 0.2 innings where he allowed a hit, a walk and a run in the extra inning game last weekend. Pirates have limited exposure to Pill:
- Cervelli 0-0, BB
- Freese 1-1
- McCutchen 0-0, HBP
- Ngoepe 0-1
- Polanco 0-1
The Mets bats willd raw Trevor Williams who is 2-3 over 11 games and 5 starts over 36.1 innings with a 5.20 ERA, 4.61 FIP, 1.321 WHIP. After back to back starts being just slightly below average (5.2 IP with 3 ER, 5.0 IP with 3 ER), Williams is coming off of his best start of the season where he held the Diamondbacks to 4 hits and 1 run over 6.0 innings. This will be Trevor Williams first start against the Mets in his career and he has never faced the Mets when they were members of other teams.
Let’s Go Mets!
