Happy Wheeler Day!
The Mets and Phillies play game two today, and for the Mets, they hope to move past the first three innings of yesterday’s game. The Mets started the game off trailing 11-0 but then ended up losing the game 13-8. They showed a lot of fight, they were just in too big of a hole to start. Zack Wheeler looks to prevent that today while the Mets offense looks to repeat against Cole Hamels.
Wheeler is 3-1 over 5 games this season pitching 28.0 innings with a 3.54 ERA. His last two starts have been on the better side of his short career allowing only one earned run over 5.0 innings and then 1 over 7.0 innings (probably the best start in his career stuff wise). This will be the first time he faces the Phillies in his career and anyone in the Phillies organization.
Cole Hamels is 4-11 this season pitching 20 games with a 4.05 ERA and 129.0 innings. In July he’s pitched 3 games totaling 23.0 innings with a 1.57 ERA, so as of late he’s becoming the Cole of old. He has made two starts against the Mets this season. Back in April he allowed 1 run over 6.0 innings of work and more recently in June he allowed 4 ER and 7 hits over 6.0 innings. The Mets have the following numbers against him:
Wright 19-57, 3 2B, 3B, 4 HR
Buck 2-25, 2 HR
Murphy 7-26, 2B, HR
Davis 6-21, HR
Byrd 3-16
Young 5-11, 2B
Lets Go Mets!
