The Padres come to town tonight to start a 4 game set against and injured Mets team. The Mets lost more than just the game yesterday as two key pieces of the offense went down, and just about everyone on the field was playing a new position. Tonight the Mets look for one of the leaders on the team in Mike Pelfrey to help lead the Mets against Stauffer and the Padres.
On the season, Pelfrey is 6-9 with a 4.48 ERA. In his last two starts he has pitched 15.0 innings with a 2.40 ERA. He has not faced the Padres yet this season but last year in two starts he pitched 17.0 innings against them allowing only 2 ER for a 1.04 ERA. The Padres have the following numbers against Big Pelf:
Headley 4-12
Hudson 5-10, 2 2B
Venable 0-8
Gonzalez 2-7, 2B
The Mets batters will get a look at Stauffer tonight who is 7-8 this season with a 2.96 ERA. In his last two starts he has pitched 13.0 innings while allowing only three earned runs. It's been a long time since he has faced the Mets, back in 2009, where he pitched 5 innings while allowing only one earned run. The Mets have the following numbers on Tim:
Harris 0-3
Pagan 0-3
Wright 0-3
Let's Go Mets!
