The Mets look to take the Subways Series tonight as they finish of the four game set with the last game of the Queens leg. Yesterday Tanaka was on point and it was one of those days you need to tip your cap to the opposing pitcher. The Mets made some mistakes but Tanaka rained on Montero’s debut parade. Today is one of those rare days were both starting pitching are making their major league debut.
For the Mets, Jacob deGrom makes the start for an ailing Gee on the DL. deGrom was 4-0 over 7 starts this year with a 2.58 ERA over 38.1 innings with 29 strikeouts. His career numbers are 21-11 over 58 starts and a 3.62 ERA. Jacob was born in 1988 and drafted in the ninth round of the 2010 draft.
Chase Whitley was born in 1989 in the 15th round of the same draft. He is 3-2 on the season with a 2.39 ERA over 7 games and 6 starts over 26.1 innings with 32 strikeouts. In the minors he is 22-16 over 151 games, 14 starts with a 2.64 ERA.
Lets Go Mets!
