The Mets and Marlins play a late afternoon game as the Marlins were nice enough to move the start time up, so the Mets can make it back to New York for a doubleheader. Last night, after a lengthy delay, the Mets and Marlins ended up playing 12 innings in a game that featured three hits by Reyes and Stinson's first major league career save. The Mets look to make it two in a row tonight as Dickey takes on Hand.
Dickey is 7-11 this season with a 3.60 ERA. He is 2-0 in his last three starts where he has pitched 20.0 innings with a 2.25 ERA. His last start against the Marlins was a brilliant one as he tossed 7 scoreless innings where he struck out 6 batters. The fish have the following numbers against Dickey:
Infante 10-19, 2B, HR
Sanchez 5-14, 3 2B, HR
Dobbs 2-10, 3B
Morrison 2-9, 2B
The Mets will get another look at Brad Hand tonight who is 1-5 with a 4.23 ERA. In his first start since returning to the big leagues, he pitched 5 innings allowing 4 runs, 3 3 earned, over 4 hits, 3 walks and 4 strikeouts. In August he made his only start against the Mets where he allowed 2 earned runs over 5 innings and 7 hits. The Mets have the following numbers against Brad:
Reyes 1-3, HR
Turner 1-3, 2B
