Two in a row! Last night was the second night in a row that Daniel Vogelbach had a big important hit. The Braves had a comeback win of their own last night so they are still only one game behind the Mets.
Chris Bassitt looks to lead the Mets to a series victory against the Pirates this evening. Over 27 games and 165 innings, Bassitt has posted a 3.44 ERA, 3.55 FIP, 1.152 WHIP and a 114 ERA+. Bassitt is coming off of a rough start against the Cubs where he allowed five runs from five hits (two homers) over 3 2/3 innings. Before that start he was in the midst of a seven game stretch where he had a 1.75 ERA over 46 1/3 innings.
That seven game stretch included a fantastic start against the Pirates in Pittsburgh where he held the Pirates to one run from five hits and a walk over seven innings while striking out 10 batters. The Pirates have the following career numbers against Bassitt:
- Roberto Perez 3-8, K
