The Mets and Marlins wrap up their series this afternoon as the Mets look to salvage a game. Last night the Mets were cruising into the 9th inning with a lead, even getting late insurance runs, but it wasn’t enough as the bullpen faltered and the Marlins walked off. Frustrating, and more frustrating that it wasn’t a surprise.
Rafael Montero gets the start this afternoon. He is 5-10 over 31 games and 16 starts with 106.1 innings posting a 5.08 ERA, 4.16 FIP and 1.702 WHIP. After a string of mostly strong starts, Montero took a step back in his last start allowing 3 runs over 4.2 innings from 7 hits and 2 walks. This season he is 1-0 in 6 games and 2 starts against the Marlins allowing 8 runs in 14.1 innings from 22 hits and 11 walks. The Marlins have the following numbers against him:
- Gordon 5-18, 2B, BB
- Ozuna 6-11, 4 BB
- Realmuto 2-13, BB
- Stanton 3-9, 2B, 3 BB
- Yelich 1-8, 3 BB
- Bour 1-4, 2 BB
- Rojas 4-6
- Suzuki 3-6, 3B
- Ellis 1-3, 2B, 2 BB
The Mets bats will try to strike back against Jose Urena who is 13-6 over 31 games and 25 starts with a 3.62 ERA, 5.06 FIP and 1.233 WHIP in 151.2 innings. Before his last start he tossed 18.0 innings in three starts allowing only 3 runs from 11 hits and 6 walks. In his last start he allowed 5 runs, 3 earned in 6.0 innings. That start was against the Mets who have the following numbers against him:
- Reyes 5-14, 2B, 3B
- Cabrera 1-10
- Flores 1-7, HR
- d’Arnaud 1-4, BB
- Reynolds 0-2
- Lagares 0-1
Let’s Go Mets!
