The Mets try to end their slide tonight against the Diamondbacks against Mike Pelfrey who will go up against Daniel Hudson. Last night the Mets dug themselves into a hole early, and late in the game they started to climb back, but it wasn't enough as they eventually lost the game 4-3. One story line to watch tonight is Mike Pelfrey who said some interesting comments after the game about not believing about winning, which was met with anger from an undisclosed Met.
Mike Pelfrey is 6-9 on the season with an ERA of 4.53. He struggled in his last start allowing 4 ER over 6.1 innings over 9 hits. One of his best starts of the season was against the Diamondbacks where he pitched 7 innings allowing only one earned run over 5 hits. Arizona has the following numbers against Mike:
Johnson 7-26, 2 2B, HR
Young 7-19, 2B, 3B
Montero 7-15, 4 2B
Upton 3-10, 2 2B
Daniel Hudson gets the start for the Dbacks tonight, and he is 11-8 on the season with a 3.38 ERA. His last start was a rough one as he allowed 7 runs, 4 earned, in 3 innings of work.
