As of 5:28 AM, it looks like Matt Harvey will make the start tonight, with Hefner making the start in the make up game tomorrow. It hasn’t been announced yet who is making the start for the Phillies, so I’m going to assume right now that it is Tyler Cloyd.
The Mets and Phillies play again tonight as Matt Harvey makes his final start of the season. Harvey is 3-5 over 9 games this year while pitching 52.1 innings posting a 2.92 ERA. His last start this season will also be the first time that he faces a team that he has already faced. Against the Phillies earlier this season he pitched 6.1 innings allowing 2 ER and striking out 2. In his last six games he has pitched 36.0 innings with a 2.50 ERA and 40 strikeouts. The Phillies have the following numbers on Matt:
Howard 0-2
Kratz 0-3
Mayberry 0-3
Nix 1-3, 2B
Pierre 2-3
Rollins 1-3, 2B
Tyler Cloyd makes the start for the Phillies tonight. On the season, Tyer is 1-1 over 4 starts and a 4.95 ERA while pitching 20 innings striking out 20 batters. His major league debut was against the Mets as he allowed 7 hits and 3 earned runs in 6 innings of work on his way to a loss. In his last two starts he has allowed 4 ER in 4 innings and 3 ER in 3 innings. The Mets have the following numbers against him:
Tejada 0-4
