The Mets go for a series win today after finally snapping their 5 game losing streak last night. In the previous five games, the Mets offense disappeared but it came back with a roar last night as the Mets scored 11 runs, including 4 homers, 3 from unlikely sources (two from Turner, one from Thole) and 1 from a what should be a likely source (Bay). Today, Dillon Gee will take the mound against Mike Minor, who is being called up today.
Dillon Gee on the season is 10-3 with a 3.69 ERA. In his last three starts he has pitched 18.2 innings and has an ERA of 3.38. He has made three starts against the Braves this year where he is 2-0 over 16.2 innings of work allowing only one earned run (an ERA of 0.54!). The Braves have the following numbers on Dillon:
Gonzalez 4-9, 2 2B
Prado 2-9
Hinske 0-6
Uggla 2-8, 2B, 3B
Heyward 1-5
The Mets will get to face Mike Minor, a pitcher that could have been a Met if Sandy got what he wanted from the Atlanta organization for Beltran. On the season, Minor has made 6 starts over 33.1 innings of work with a 4.59 ERA. One of his really bad starts this year was against the Mets where he allowed 5 ER and 7 hits in 4.1 innings of work. The Mets have the following numbers on Mike:
Bay 1-3
Murphy 0-2
Reyes 2-3, 3B
Turner 1-3, 2B
Let's Go Mets!
