First off, a very happy one year anniversary of No-Han to you!
In typical Mets fashion, after winning 4 against the Yankees, they lose against the Marlins. However, today is a new day and hopefully the start of a new streak as Collin McHugh makes a spot start for the Mets tonight against the young Jose Fernandez. Last night the Mets offense was absent…again. Marcum was fine with the exception of one inning when the game went south. Here’s hoping for the bats to come back today.
Collin is making a return to the majors today. This year he has allowed 6 ER over 3.0 innings in two games. Last year he was 0-4 over 8 games and 4 starts over 21.1 innings with a 7.59 ERA. Last year he faced the Marlins for 0.1 innings allowing 2 hits and one earned runs. This year in Vegas he is 3-2 over 8 starts and 49.1 innings while posting a 2.74 ERA. The only two Marlins that have stats against him are Brantly (0-1) and Pierre (1-1).
It is June 1st and for the third time this season, Jose Fernandez will be facing the Mets. On the season he is 2-3 over 10 starts with a 3.78 ERA while pitching 52.1 innings. In two starts against the Mets this year he has pitched 9.0 innings while allowing 3 ER. He is coming off of a rough start start where he allowed 7 runs, 4 earned over 3.1 innings. The Mets have the following numbers against Jose:
Baxter 0-3
Davis 0-2
Duda 0-3
Murphy 1-4
Buck 1-2, HR
Recker 1-2, 2B
Lets Go Mets!
