The Mets will try to forget their last series as they head to Texas to take on the Rangers. The Mets fell apart Friday night, rebounded Saturday night and just never showed up on Sunday as they lost two of three to the Pirates.
Tonight Jacob deGrom will get a shot at redemption. On the season he is 4-2 over 11 games and 68.0 innings with a 3.97 ERA, 3.58 FIP and 1.368 WHIP. In back to back games he allowed 1 run over 15.1 innings and hten his last start against the Brewers happened where he allowed 8 hits and 5 walks over 4.0 innings leading to 7 runs. Only two Rangers have seen deGrom in a major league game. Lucroy is 2-12 with a double and Cashner is 0-1.
The Mets will face an old friend tonight, Dillon Gee. Gee was a Met through 2015 and spent last year with the Royals with a 8-9 record over 33 games and 14 starts over 125.0 innings with a 4.68 ERA, 5.25 FIP, 1.464 WHIP. Since joining the Rangers this year, Gee pitched 2.2 innings allowing 3 hits in first appearance and last time out he allowed 2 hits and 4 runs, none earned, over 4.0 innings. Tonight will be Gee’s first start this year. In the minors this year he is 3-4 over 9 starts with a 3.88 ERA over 51.0 innings. The Mets have the following numbers against Gee:
- Walker 1-8, 2 BB
- Bruce 1-9, HR
- Granderson 1-5, HR, 3 BB
- Cabrera 0-6, BB
- R Rivera 1-2
- Conforto 0-1
Let’s Go Mets!
