The Mets and Brewers start a series tonight as the Mets will try to
avoid a losing season after the opener was rained out last night. The Amazin's are coming off of a series win in
Philly where they at least blocked the Phillies from celebrating their
division championship in Philly. The Brewers are coming off a series
win against the Marlins where they clinched a losing season.
Pelfrey
gets the start for the Mets and he's looking to build off of three
consecutive good starts. In those three starts he has pitched 21.1
innings with a 2.11 ERA while walking 4 and striking out 13. The last
time Pelfrey faced the Brewers was in 2009 where he pitched 7 shutout
innings for the win. The Brewers have these numbers on Big Pelf:
Fielder 2-4, 2 2B
Braun 1-3
Hart 0-3
The Mets will now face Randy Wolf in the opener who is 13-11 this season and a 4.24 ERA. He has been very good in the month of September with a 1.21 ERA over 29.2 innings in four starts. He was the losing pitcher against the Mets earlier this season as he picked up the loss in 5 innings of work where he allowed 2 ER. The Mets have the following numbers on Randy:
Beltran 11-32, 4 2B, 3 HR
Wright 8-27, 3 2B
Pagan 4-8, 2B
Lets Go Mets!
