The Mets try to get back on track as the White Sox come to town for the early game. Yesterday the Mets were able to claw their way back in the 8th inning to tie the game at 2 vs the Dodgers, but Familia was flustered in the ninth and the Mets eventually lost 4-2. The big story for today is, will Matt Harvey be Harvey? The word on the street is the Mets staff found a mechanical issue in his extended bullpen session and worked on it. Also, will the extended session impact him? The numbers on the season are bleak this season at 3-7 over 10 starts and 53.1 innings with a 6.08 ERA over 44 K’s. Its been a while since he faced the White Sox. In 2013 he pitched a one hitter, complete game shutout with 12 K’s against them. The White Sox have the following numbers against Harvey:
- Rollins 5-22, 2 2B, 2 HR
- Frazier 2-9
- Jackson 1-4
- Cabrera 1-3
The Mets draw Jose Quintana today who is 5-4 with a 2.22 ERA over 10 starts and 65.0 innings of work on the season. He’s been more human in his last two starts going 0-2 over 12.1 innings with 7 ER and 13 K’s. He’s never faced the Mets before but he has faced a few Mets batters while they were members of other teams:
- Cabrera 2-19
- Cespedes 9-15, 2 2B, 3B, 4 HR
- Granderson 1-4, HR
- Walker 0-3
Let’s GO Mets!
