The Mets bounced back last night from their frustrating 6-3 loss in the series opener with an 8-0 win. Curtis Granderson continued his hot streak as he continues to remind me why I love him. On the pitching side, Steven Matz had his best start of the season throwing 7 shutout innings.
Tonight Seth Lugo looks to keep that going. Lugo is 2-1 over 3 games this season with 19.1 innings with a 3.72 ERA, 4.38 FIP and 1.397 WHIP. Although it is a small sample size, while his WHIP is up quite a bit from this year to last year, his FIP is nearly identical (4.33 last year). Lugo was 2-0 over three games and two starts last year against Miami where he pitched 12.2 innings with a 3.55 ERA. The Marlins have the following numbers against Lugo:
- Osuna 0-4, 2 BB
- Prado 4-7, 2B, HR
- Yelich 1-6, HR, BB
- Gordon 1-6, 2B
- Realmuto 1-4
- Bour 1-2, BB
- Stanton 1-3, 2B
- Suzuki 0-3
The Mets bats will get a look at Jose Urena today who is 6-2 over 16 games and 10 starts this year logging 70.1 innings with a 3.33 ERA, 5.05 FIP and 1.251 WHIP. He is in the midst of a good streak pitching a combined 18.0 innings in his last three games allowing only 3 runs over 11 hits and 6 walks. His last start, 6.0 innings no runs, is his best start since he faced the Mets early May where he held the Mets to 1 hit and 1 walk with no runs in 6.0 innings. Overall against the Mets this year he has allowed 1 ER and 4 hits over 10.0 innings (1 start and 2 relief outings). The Mets have the following numbers against Urena:
- Granderson 3-14, BB
- Reyes 5-12, 2B, 3B
- Bruce 2-10, 2 HR, BB
- Conforto 3-8, 2B
- Cespedes 2-8, HR
- Cabrera 1-7
- Flores 1-7, HR
- R Rivera 1-6
- TJ Rivera 1-5, 2B, BB
- d’Arnaud 1-4, BB
- Lugo 1-2, 2B
Let’s Go Mets!
