The Mets look to rebound from a three game losing streak this afternoon against the Nationals. Today Bartolo Colon looks to be sharp. Colon is 2-5 over 8 starts over 49.1 innings and a 5.84 ERA. May has not been kind to Colon over three starts he has logged 17.1 innings with a 8.31 ERA however in the last start at Yankee stadium the Mets bats were able to bail him out. His first start of the season was against the Nationals and he allowed 3 ER over 9 hits in 6.0 innings. The Nationals have the following numbers against Colon:
- Span 0-6, 2 BB
- Desmond 1-3, HR
- Gonzalez 1-3, HR (Seriously)
- Lobaton 1-3
- McLouth 2-3
- Rendon1-3
- Werth 3-3, 2B
Gio Gonzalez is 3-3 over 8 starts and 47.2 innings with a 3.97 ERA. His last start was his second worse of the season as he allowed 7 ER over 4.1 innings. That’s basically been his season, he has terrific starts and just two bad starts, and one average one (for those not doing the Math, that means he has had 5 good to spectacular starts out of 8). His first start of the year was against the Mets where he allowed one earned run over 6 innings. The Mets have the following numbers against the Nationals:
- Granderson 2-19, HR
- Wright 4-14, 2B, 3B, HR
