Unlike Mets hitters, Mets pitchers had a very good week. The team's quarter of young, exciting pitchers strung together four straight games of outstanding starting pitching. Mets starters now have a 3.70 ERA on the season, the sixth-best mark in baseball. The bullpen is nothing to sneeze at, either, as its 2.84 ERA is also the sixth-best in baseball.
| Player | Last Week | This Week | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jerry Blevins, LHP |  |
|
There’s nothing really new to report here. |
| Buddy Carlyle, RHP | |
|
Or here. |
| Bartolo Colon, RHP |  |
|
Colon gave up four runs in six innings and has been the weakest link the Mets’ rotation. |
| Jacob deGrom, RHP |  |
|
In a week that featured plenty of great pitching performances, deGrom had the best outing. He’s been superb. |
| Jeurys Familia, RHP | |
 |
With four scoreless innings on the week, Familia was back to his dominant self. |
| Sean Gilmartin, LHP | |
 |
In one-third of an inning, he gave up a hit and a walk, though he wasn't charged with any runs. |
| Erik Goeddel, RHP | |
|
No real updates here, either. |
| Matt Harvey, RHP | |
|
Harvey threw six good innings on Saturday before rain forced the game to be suspended. He’s quietly been very good lately. |
| Jack Leathersich, LHP | |
-- | Leathersich did not make an appearance over the week and was optioned to make room for Matz. |
| Steven Matz, LHP | -- | |
Matz simply had one of the best major league debuts in baseball history as he combined a very good outing on the mound with an incredible performance at the plate. |
| Jon Niese, LHP | |
|
Niese gave up just two runs in six innings. That’s pretty good. |
| Bobby Parnell, RHP | |
|
Parnell struck out three and walked none in two-and-one-third scoreless. |
| Hansel Robles, RHP | |
|
Robles gave up one run over 2.2 innings with a couple of strikeouts and one walk. |
| Noah Syndergaard, RHP | |
|
With an eight-inning, one-run start, Syndergaard was excellent. In nine big league starts, he has a 3.59 ERA and 2.75 FIP. |
| Alex Torres, LHP | |
|
Torres walked the only batter he faced all week. |
| Carlos Torres, RHP | |
|
Having struggled quite a bit earlier in the month, Torres made a couple of appearances and totaled one scoreless inning. |
| Logan Verrett, RHP | |
|
Four scoreless innings? That’ll work. |
