The Mets took the series in Philly yesterday 3 games to 1 and head back to New York to face the Nationals again. On the whole, the Mets went 4-3 on the road, dropping 2 of 3 to the Nationals. Originally a deGrom day, Montero will be taking the start for deGrom as he heads to the DL for tendinitis. Montero will be squaring off against Doug Fister.
Montero was 0-2 in the majors over 4 games and 20.0 innings with an ERA of 5.40. The last time he was here he had one average start (3 ER over 6), one brilliant start (1 ER over 6, and 10 K’s) and two poor starts. Overall in the minors he is 6-3 this season over 17 games and 80.0 innings with a 3.15 ERA. He never faced the Nationals in a major league game last time he was here, and he hasn’t faced anyone on the Nationals roster, so no batting stats.
The Mets draw Fister again who is 11-3 over 16 starts and 104.2 innings with a 2.49 ERA. In his last three starts he has pitched 21.1 innings allowing 2 ER, 0.84 ERA and 17 K’s.
