Yesterday stunk. Can we do it over?
The Mets lost two games against the Pirates yesterday by the same score, 3-1. The Mets bats are no where to be found, and even though the Mets have allowed only 7 runs in the last three games, they now have lost three consecutive starts.
Luckily, here comes Noah Syndergaard, the stopper. Noah is 6-2 over 12 games and 11 starts with 70.2 innings with a 1.91 ERA while striking out 90 batters. In his last 7 games, 6 starts, he’s pitched 38.1 innings with 46 K’s while recording an 1.41 ERA. He faced the Pirates once last year picking up the loss allowing 4 runs, only one earned run while pitching 6.0 innings. The Bucs have the following numbers against Thor:
- Josh Harrison 1-3
- Jaso 1-2, 2B
- Ho Kang 1-3
- Marte 0-3
- McCutchen 1-3, 2B
- Polanco 0-3
The Mets bats will get to see the major league debut of Jameson Taillon. Jameson is currently rehabing from Tommy John back in 2014, which side tracked his development. He’s 4-2 over 10 games and 61.2 inning with a 2.04 ERA. In his last full season, 2013 (no games in 2014, 2015) he was 5-10 over 147.1 innings with a 3.73 ERA. The Mets handled this road well recently when they had to face the phenom on the Dodgers’ staff.
Let’s Go Mets!
