The Mets and the Pirates play an afternoon game today as the Mets try to come back from their disappointing 3-2 loss yesterday and play like they did on Friday. The Mets will look on Chris Capuano to continue the streak of good starting pitching while the offense will look to tee off on Kevin Correia.
Capuano is 4-6 on the season with a 4.86 ERA. His last start against the Brewers was quite nice as he logged 6 innings allowing only one earned run. His start before that was not as nice as he allowed 5 ER over 6 innings of work against the Pirates, so hopefully he won't do that again today in Pittsburgh. The Bucs have the following numbers on Chris:
Cedeno 3-20, 2B, 3B
Diaz 6-13
Tabata 2-7, HR
Walker 2-7, 2B
Jones 1-6, 2B
Kevin Correia is 8-4 on the season and has a 3.64 ERA. In his last two starts he has allowed 6 ER in 11 innings of work which results in a 4.91 ERA. One of those starts was against the Mets where he allowed 2 ER over 6 innings. The Mets have posted the following numbers against Kevin:
Reyes 3-13, 3B
Beltran 4-9
Pagan 3-6
Murphy 3-9
Paulino 3-4
Let's Go Mets!
