The Mets continued a streak last night of tough, tough losses as they dropped last night’s game to the Phillies in extra innings. The Mets are still in position to take the series and return to .500 when it is over. Dillon Gee looks to undo that tonight as squares off against Kyle Kendrick and the Phillies.
Gee is 3-1 on the season with a 2.51 ERA in seven starts and 46.2 innings of work. His last outing ended a Mets losing streak, which is the same thing he will be asked to do again. In his last four starts he has pitched 27.0 innings with a 0.67 ERA. Last year he struggled against the Phillies in four starts allowing 21 runs, 20 earned, over 32 hits in 20 innings of work. The Phillies have the following numbers against Gee:
- Rollins 9-19, 2 2B
- Utley 5-19, 2 2B
- Mayberry 4-18, 2B, 2 HR
- Howard 7-15, 6 HR
- Brown 3-12, 2B
- Ruiz 1-10, 2B
Kyle Kendrick is 0-3 on the season but has a 3.58 ERA over 6 starts and 37.2 innings. His last three starts pretty much match the consistency of his season. In those three starts he has a 3.66 ERA. He was successful against the Mets last season going 3-1 over 4 starts with a 3.04 ERA over 26.2 innings. The Mets have the following numbers against Kyle:
- Wright 13-41, 2 2B, 2 HR
- Murphy 5-27, 2B
- Tejada 4-19
- Duda3-16, 2 2B, HR
- C Young 3-15, 2B, HR
- E Young 1-8
Lets Go Mets!
