The Mets and White Sox find themselves playing the rubber game this afternoon. The Mets were cruising for most of the night last night until the 6th inning. Matz, who was dicing the lineup up until that point, allowed 3 runs and didn’t make it out of the inning. Syndergaard then pitched a solid inning, and then Robles blew the game and the Mets bats couldn’t get it back.
Jacob deGrom will try to put everything back together today. Jacob is 3-1 over 8 starts and 48.0 innings with a 2.81 ERA while recording 37 K’s. After several starts in a row of average to below average starts, deGrom rebounded with a strong outing his last time out going 7.0 innings holding the Dodgers to 1 ER while striking out 7. Jacob has never faced the White Sox before but has faced a couple of batters on other teams:
- Rollins 1-8
- Frazier 0-2
Miguel Gonzalez is in the midst of his first season with the White Sox after four with the Orioles. Gonzalez is 0-1 over 5 starts and 28.0 innings with a 4.50 ERA. In his last three starts he is 0-1 over 17.0 innings striking out 14 with a 4.24 ERA. Miguel has never faced the Mets before but has faced several players while they were on other teams:
- Granderson 1-17, 2B
- Cabrera 3-13, 2B, HR
- Cespedes 6-13
- De Aza 4-7, HR
- Rivera 1-7
- Walker 2-3
Let’s Go Mets!
