The Mets might have had a dreadful week as a team, but their pitching staff was thoroughly average. With a 3.50 ERA, they sat in the middle of the Major League Baseball pack at fifteenth for the week. On a per-nine basis, Mets pitchers struck out 8.0, walked 3.67, and gave up one home run. Here's how they did individually.
Player | Last Week | This Week | Comment |
---|---|---|---|
Bartolo Colon, RHP | -- | Thanks to baseball’s rain rules, Colon’s outing on Friday night never happened. | |
Jacob deGrom, RHP | deGrom’s second big league start wasn’t as good as his first, but he still put together a quality start. | ||
Jeurys Familia, RHP | With two strikeouts, a walk, and one run allowed in 3.0 innings, Familia recovered nicely from his bad previous week. | ||
Dillon Gee, RHP | Gee hasn’t made much progress with his strained lat and doesn’t sound like he will be back soon. | ||
Gonzalez Germen, RHP | Germen hit the disabled list a while ago with an illness. He’s still there because of an abscess at an "undisclosed location." | ||
Daisuke Matsuzaka, RHP | Between a couple of relief outings and a spot start in the second game of Sunday’s doubleheader, Matsuzaka was solid. | ||
Rafael Montero, RHP | Montero’s 14 strikeouts in 10.1 innings over two starts were great, but he also issued 7 walks in the process. His first start of the week went very poorly, but he was far better in his second. | ||
Jenrry Mejia, RHP | Clearly the Mets’ official closer, Mejia had another excellent week out of the bullpen, as he posted a 0.00 ERA in four appearances. | ||
Jon Niese, LHP | Niese bounced back from a poor start with a pretty good one, allowing three runs in seven innings. | ||
Scott Rice, LHP | Rice didn’t give up any runs, but he struck out one and walked two in two-thirds of an inning, which definitely isn’t ideal. | ||
Carlos Torres, RHP | With a 2.08 ERA in four-and-one-third innings, it was another routine good week on the mound for Torres, who now has a 2.83 ERA and 2.49 FIP on the season. | ||
Jose Valverde, RHP | Papa Grande’s 10.80 ERA was the worst mark on the team this week. | ||
Zack Wheeler, RHP | Wheeler gave up just two runs in six-and-two-thirds innings of work, and he struck out seven while just walking one. He hit a couple of batters, but all in all, it was a good outing. |
