Oh boy did the Mets need that win last night! The bats of the New York Mets have been in a slumber for about two weeks now, and those two weeks have felt like two centuries. After a horrid road trip for hitting, the Mets scored 8 runs in the bottom of the first including a grand slam from Amed Rosario.
Now the Mets look to keep the good times going with Jacob deGrom on the mound. He is 2-4 over 7 starts and 40.0 innings with a 3.60 ERA, 3.47 FIP, 1.150 WHIP and 110 ERA+. In the month of May he has tossed 14.0 innings, allowing only 2 runs off 7 hits and 3 walks while striking out 13. His second start of the season was against the Marlins where he allowed 3 hits and a walk, but no runs, over 7.0 innings while striking out an astonishing 14 batters. The Marlins have the following numbers against him:
- Starlin Castro 8-26, 2 BB, 4 K
- Miguel Rojas 4-20, 3 BB, 2 K
- Brian Anderson 5-13, HR, BB, 2 K
- Lewis Brinson 4-15, 2B, 5 K
- Martin Prado 3-13, 2B, BB, 5 K
- Neil Walker 2-12, BB, 3 K
- JT Riddle 1-6, 5 K
- Curtis Granderson 0-2, BB, 2 K
The Mets bats will get their first 2019 look at Sandy Alcantara who is 1-3 over 7 games and 38.1 innings this year with a 4.93 ERA, 4.71 FIP, 1.617 WHIP and 79 ERA+. In his last two starts he has allowed 9 runs, 7 earned over 10.1 innings from 11 hits and 9 walks. In three games against the Mets last year though he held the Mets to only 4 runs over 19.0 innings despite allowing 9 hits and 10 walks. The Mets have the following numbers on Sandy:
- Michael Conforto 0-8, K
- Todd Frazier 2-7, 2B, BB, K
- Brandon Nimmo 1-5, 2B, BB, K
- Amed Rosario 0-2, 2 BB, K

Let’s Go Mets!
