The Mets dropped the series to the Braves last night, and look to get back on the winning track tonight against the Phillies. Joining the Mets tonight is 20 year old prospect Dilson Herrera from Double-A, which is exciting, for a team looking something the in the latter part of the season.
Jacob deGrom gets the nod tonight. He is 6-6 on the season over 17 games and 106.1 innings of work while posting a 3.13 ERA. His first start back from the DL did not go so well as he allowed 5 ER and 5 hits over 6.0 innings. On the positive, he struck out 7 batters. In one start against the Phillies this year he allowed 3 ER over 6.1 innings and struck out 11 batters. The Phils have the following numbers against deGrom:
- Byrd 0-3
- Howard 1-3, HR
- Revere 0-3
- Rollins 1-3
- Utley 1-2
- Brown 0-1

In the month of August he pitched in four games with 24.0 innings and a 3.75 ERA. In two games against the Mets he has a 4.26 ERA and two losses and 12.2 innings. The Mets have the following numbers against David:
