The Mets' pitching staff was all over the place over the past week. The rotation was stronger than the bullpen overall, but there were some less-than-stellar performances from both factions. In total, the Mets ranked in the bottom third of baseball in ERA and FIP over that span. Here's how each player performed.
| Player | Last Week | This Week | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vic Black, RHP |  |
 |
The peripherals were good, but the results were not, as Black gave up two runs over 3.1 innings. |
| Buddy Carlyle, RHP | |
|
Carlyle pitched another 3.1 scoreless innings, which gives him a 0.66 ERA and 2.03 FIP in 13.2 innings of work in the big leagues this year. |
| Bartolo Colon, P |  |
|
Colon gave up just one run in eight innings of work, and he struck out six without walking anybody. It still would not be a shock to see him dealt to a contender before the waiver trade deadline passes. |
| Jacob deGrom, RHP |  |
|
deGrom gave up three runs in six innings with four strikeouts and a walk, but the biggest news about him was that he will miss his start on Tuesday with shoulder soreness. |
| Josh Edgin, LHP | |
|
Edgin tossed 4.1 scoreless frames to continue his surprisingly great season. |
| Dana Eveland, LHP | |
|
Eveland gave up a couple of runs in 2.1 innings, giving him a 7.71 ERA on the week. |
| Jeurys Familia, RHP | |
|
Walks were a problem for Familia, and he’s still not striking out the world, but he managed to have another effective week out of the bullpen. |
| Dillon Gee, RHP | |
|
With a 2.13 ERA over 12.2 innings in a pair of starts this week, Gee looked much more like his pre-disabled list self than the guy who struggled after coming off the disabled list. |
| Daisuke Matsuzaka, RHP |  |
|
On the disabled list with elbow inflammation, Matsuzaka is scheduled to make a rehab start for High-A St. Lucie this evening. |
| Jenrry Mejia, RHP | |
|
Mejia gave up four runs on nine hits in 3.2 innings of work this week, and he’s dealt with a balky calf and a hernia lately. |
| Jon Niese, LHP | |
|
Niese’s lone outing of the week was a stinker. |
| Carlos Torres, RHP | |
|
Torres only pitched one inning, but he allowed three runs in it. He had a 2.88 ERA on July 12 but has a 3.61 ERA today. |
| Zack Wheeler, RHP | |
|
While his strikeout and walk rates—19.2 and 13.5 percent, respectively—were not great, Wheeler threw 12.2 innings over two starts with a 2.84 ERA. |
