The Mets find themselves in an important rubber game today. If they win, they can start working back on the losses they’ve accumulated over the last week. If they lose, the psyche of the fans will shift to yesterday being a fluke. I’m also being super melodramatic, truth be told, it’s a game against the Brewers in May, so not that serious.
Yesterday the Mets finally crushed the ball scoring 10 runs in one inning on their way to a 14-1 rout of the Brewers. The Mets had homers from Plawecki, Granderson and Flores (his being a grand slam) and 3-3 night at the plate Jacob deGrom who also turned out an amazing start on the mound.
Noah Syndergaard will get his second start of the season today. In his first start he allowed 3 ER over 5.1 innings over 6 hits while walking 4 and striking out 6. The box score doesn’t tell the complete story for Noah, he did quite well for the first 5 innings and it wasn’t until the 6th that the wheels came off. This being Noah’s second start, he has never faced the Brewers nor has anyone on the Brewers roster has faced him in a major league game.
The Mets bats will get a crack at Wily Peralta who is 1-4 over 7 games and 45.0 innings with a 3.80 ERA. May has been good for Wily who is 2-1 over 20.0 innings with a 2.25 ERA and 16 K’s. He was also quite good against the Mets last year putting up a 2.25 ERA over two games and 12.0 innings of work. The Mets have the following numbers against Wily:
- Murphy 3-9
- Duda 1-7
- Granderson 4-5, 2 2B, HR
- Tejada 0-6
- Cuddyer 2-3, 2B
- Flores 0-3
- Mayberry 2-3, 2B
Lets Go Mets!
