The Mets have had back to back nationally televised games, including last night’s 8 PM start and they come back to Citi Field today for a late afternoon game against the Brewers. The Mets are coming off of a series win, that should have been a sweep, but focusing on positives, they took two out of three and they try to build some momentum out of it. Bruce and Duda started hitting again this weekend while the bullpen got a bit of rest from deGrom and Harvey, but players with too many appearances still warmed up last night.
Gsellman gets the start today. he is 2-3 over 11 games and 8 starts and 44.2 innings with a 6.45 ERA, 4.27 FIP and 1.657 WHIP. His last outing was his return to the rotation where he allowed 3 runs over 6 hits and a walk in 6.0 innings of work. He was “kicked out” of the rotation by the Brewers earlier in May when he allowed 9 hits and 3 walks leading to 6 runs, 5 earned over 4.0 innings.
