The Mets had a new look on the field last night and if the game ended after the first inning, it would have looked great. As the game went on the defense started to fall apart and the pitching couldn’t stop the bleeding as the Mets ended up allowing 7 unearned runs. The Mets look to reverse this tonight, as well as score some runs as Dillon Gee takes the mound against Shelby Miller.
Dillon Gee is 4-6 over 64.0 innings of work and 12 starts with a 5.20 ERA. Gee is coming off of back to back excellent starts where he has combined to throw 14.1 innings while allowing 2 ER and 19 strikeouts. The only downside is he allowed 12 hits in his last start, which is living on the edge a bit too much. Gee faced the Cards the first time around this season allowed 6 runs, 5 earned over 4.0 innings and 9 hits. The Cards have the following numbers against Gee:
Freese 3-8
Holliday 2-8, 2 2B
Molina 0-9Beltran 2-7
Craig 3-5
The Mets bats will get a look at Shelby Miller tonight who is 7-3 over 12 starts and 75.1 innings with a 1.91 ERA (geeeezzzeeeee). In a start against the Mets earlier this season he allowed 0 runs over 5.2 innings of work. The Mets have the following numbers against Miller:
Murphy 2-4, 2B
Duda 0-3
Wright 1-3
Buck 0-2
Lets Go Mets!
