The Mets look to roll to 6 straight tonight as they look to take the four game series against the Braves by winning the first three. Some quick notes from last night, the Mets gained a game on the Nationals, Matz looked good for 5 innings, the bullpen held up, Cespedes is stupid strong, etc.
Noah needs (mentally?) a strong game tonight, and this Braves lineup is a great opportunity for that. he is 8-6 on the season over 20 starts and 122.1 innings with a 3.31 ERA with 129 K’s. In his last four starts he has tossed 23.2 innings, 23 K’s with a 4.56 ERA. Not terrible, but it would be nice for him to get back in that mid-summer form. His one start against the Braves earlier this year wasn’t very good as he allowed 4 runs, 3 earned over 4.0 innings. The Braves have the following numbers against Noah:
- Maybin 0-2
- Peterson 0-1
- Markakis 1-2
- Perez 0-2
- Pierzynski 2-2, 3B
- Simmons 2-2
The Rookie Williams Perez is 5-6 over 19 games and 16 starts with a 5.42 ERA over 93.0 innings and 59 K’s. He’s coming off a strong performance in Philly allowing 2 ER over 7.0 innings. However in the four starts before that he allowed 24 runs, 22 earned over 17.2 innings. In his first start against the Mets this year he allowed 4 ER over 6.0 innings. The Mets have the following numbers against Perez:
- Herrerea 1-3
- Lagares 0-4
- Campbell 0-3
- Cuddyer 0-2
- d’Arnaud 2-3, HR
- Duda 0-1
- Granderson 2-3, HR
- Tejada 1-3
Let’s Go Mets!
