Well it had to end eventually. The Yankees snapped the Mets win streak at 11 games yesterday as the Yankee bats were able to get to deGrom early and often and the Mets bats were flustered by the Yanks. Today however is a new day and the Mets look to start a new streak behind Matt Harvey as he takes on CC Sabathia.
The last Harvey start was not spectacular for a lot of reasons. Harvey was battling an illness which may have impacted his play on the field. Later in the game both Jerry Blevins and Travis d’Arnaud suffered fractures knocking them out for a while. It just wasn’t the best win in the world. On the season Harvey is 3-0 over 18.0 innings allowing 7 runs, 17 hits, 1 walk while striking out 24 (His run numbers are still inflated from his last start). In 2013 he held the Yankees to 1 run over 8.0 innings walking no one, allowing 6 hits and striking out 10. The Yankees have the following numbers against Harvey:
- Headley 1-5, HR
- Gardner 2-4
- Beltran 1-3
- Garrett Jones 0-2
- Stephen Drew 0-1
The Mets bats draw CC Sabathia today who is 0-3 on the season with a 4.35 ERA over 20.2 innings allowing 22 hits, 11 runs, 10 earned, while walking 4 and striking out 20. The numbers don’t tell a complete story. His first start was awful allowing 5 runs, 4 earned over 5.2 innings, then in his next start he improved to 4 runs over 7.0 in his last sarthe allowed 2 runs over 8, but the bats couldn’t bail him out. The last time he faced the Mets was way back in 2012 where he allowed 5 runs, only 1 earned over 5.2 innings. The Mets have the following numbers against him:
- Cuddyer 14-61, 4 2B, 2 HR
- Granderson 3-19
- Tejada 2-5, 2B
- Mayberry -4
- Duda 1-3
Lets Go Mets!
