Tonight the Mets will look to win their 12th game of the season, their 10th in a row, and take the first series of the home stand against the Brewers. Last night the Mets continued their trend of scoring after the other team scores. After taking an early 2-0 lead, the Brewers tied the game at 2-2 on one swing. Frazier immediately responded with his second homer of the night and the Mets would build a lead that would be chipped at, but never taken again for the night.
I almost forgot to with you a Happy Harvey Day! Matt makes his third start of the season tonight. On the season so far he has pitched 10.0 innings in two games allowing 4 runs from 10 hits and 2 walks while striking out 7 posting a 3.60 ERA, 3.83 FIP, 1.200 WHIP and 106 ERA+. Last year, Harvey’s start against the Brewers was not good as he allowed 5 runs from 7 hits and 5 walks in 5.0 innings while striking out 6. The Brewers have the following numbers against Harvey:
- Yelich 5-21, 5 K
- Cain 3-7, 3 BB
- Villar 1-5, BB
- Bandy 1-3, 2B
- Braun 0-3
- Broxton 1-3
- Perez 2-3, HR
- Shaw 0-3
The Mets bats draw Chase Anderson making his 4th start of the season after a breakout 2017 campaign. Between Arizona and Milwaukee, Anderson never hand an ERA below 4.01 for three seasons. Last year he was 12-4 over 141.1 innings with a 2.74 ERA, 3.58 FIP, 1.090 WHIP and 160 ERA+. So far this year he is 0-1 over 16.0 innings with a 3.38 ERA, 5.96 FIP, 1.125 WHIP and 66 ERA+. He faced the Mets once last year and it was a very good start where he held the Mets scoreless over 7.0 innings and to only 3 hits and a walk while striking out 7 in a game the Brewers eventually won 2-1. The Mets have the following numbers against Chase:
- Gonzalez 9-18, 2 2B, HR, 5 BB (.609 OBP)
- Bruce 1-14, HR, BB, 8 K
- Frazier 0-9, 4 K
- Reyes 2-8, BB
- Cabrera 1-4, BB
- Conforto 1-5, HR, BB
- Flores 1-4, BB
- Lagares 3-5, HR
- Cespedes 1-2, 2B
Let’s Go Mets!
