The Mets made a quick stop in the Bronx last night and backed up deGrom up with 5 homers! Jacob recorded 12 K’s and a human 3 runs over 6.2 innings as Rosario, Nimmo, Frazier, Conforto and Bautista all took advantage of the friendly size of Yankee Stadium. Now the Mets will look to keep the good times going as Jason Vargas gets the start in Baltimore, another homer friendly stadium.
Jason Vargas is 2-8 over 12 games and 47.1 innings with a 8.75 ERA, 6.09 FIP, 1.838 WHIP and 43 ERA+. In his last start, a rain soaked and delayed affair, he was marked on the record with 3 runs and recording 1 out. One of his few good starts this season was against Baltimore where he allowed 2 runs over 5.0 innings. The Orioles have the following numbers against him:
- Jones 6-33, 2 2B, 2 BB
- Gentry 5-23, 2 BB
- Trumbo 4-21, 12 K
- Davis 3-17, 2 BB
- Beckham 1-5, 2B
- Joseph 1-4, HR
- Villar 1-3
The Mets bats will get a look at Andrew Cashner who played on four teams since 2016 (Padres, Marlins, Rangers and Orioles). He is 3-10 over 22 games and 121.0 innings with a 4.83 ERA, 4.87 FIP, 1.512 WHIP and 87 ERA+. He is coming off a good start where he held the Rays to 1 earned run, 3 total, over 7.0 innings which he needed because in his previous start he allowed 10 runs over 1.2 innings (which raised his season ERA from 4.22 to 5.05). The Mets have the following numbers against him:
- Frazier 5-13, 5 2B, BB
- Plawecki 2-8, 2B
- Bautista 1-3, 2 BB
- Conforto 1-5, BB
- Flores 1-6
- Reyes 2-3
- Jackson 0-3
Let’s Go Mets!
