The Mets look to forget about last night as quickly as they possibly can as they play the Marlins again for a day game at Citi Field. The Mets will be sending out R.A. Dickey to wash out the starting pitching of yesterday as the Mets bats look to remind the world that they can hit and score runs as the play Josh Johnson.
R.A. Dickey is 14-3 this season with a 2.82 ERA over 153.1 innings of work. In his last two starts he has pitched a combined 14.0 innings allowing 2 ER, 3 runs total with a 1-1 record. He’s allowed only 3 ER over 13.0 innings against the Marlins this season. The Marlins have the following numbers against Dickey:
Buck 3-10
Cousins 0-2
Reyes 0-4
Kearns 1-3
Josh Johnson is 7-7 on the season with a 3.85 ERA over 22 starts and 133.1 innings. Johnson had a rough start to July but he’s rebounding nicely allowing only 2 ER over 13.2 innings while striking out 13 K’s. He allowed one earned run over 6.2 innings against the Mets this year. The Mets have the following numbers Johnson:
Wright 7-32, 3B, HR
Murphy 6-20, 2 2B
Bay 5-12, 3B, HR
Davis 1-9
Thole 2-7, 2 2B
