Fresh off a win in the 13th last night,the Mets are back at it again tonight for game 2. Yesterday the Mets fell behind very early but were able to scratch back late in the game, push the game into extras and finish off the Diamondbacks thanks to a walk off hit by Brown. Tonight Jeremy Hefner will take the mound for the Amazin’s as he goes up against Patrick Corbin.
Jeremy Hefner is 2-6 over 87.0 innings this year while posting a nice 3.72 ERA. He was on fire in the month of June allowing only 1 ER in each start which led to a 1.80 ERA over 30.0 innings. He is quickly solidifying himself as my favorite good surprise of the 2013 season. In his young career he has never faced the Diamondbacks and the only batter that has an MLB record against him is Prado, who is 0-2.
The Mets bats draw Patrick Corbin who is 9-0 this season with a 2.22 ERA over 109.0 innings of work. He made 6 starts in June pitching 41.1 innings with a 1-0 record (hasn’t won since the first week, hasn’t lost either) while posting a 3.05 ERA. Last year he pitched 3.1 innings against the Mets while allowing 4 ER. The Mets have the following numbers against Corbin:
Young 3-6, 3 2B
Brown 2-5, HR
Buck 1-3
Murphy 2-2
Wright 0-2
Lets Go Mets!
