The Mets have won seven games in a row, thanks largely to their offense. But while there were some stinkers among their pitchers' outings, there were also some gems.
| Player | Last Week | This Week | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dario Alvarez, LHP | -- |  |
Early in the week, Alvarez got a big strikeout against Bryce Harper. But he finished the week with a 7.71 ERA. |
| Tyler Clippard, RHP | |
|
Clippard worked a ton and fared relatively well until he gave up a three-run home run late in the week. The guy probably just needs some rest every now and then, like anyone. |
| Bartolo Colon, RHP |  |
|
Colon turned in another good start and has been fantastic for a while now. |
| Jacob deGrom, RHP |  |
|
Two runs over seven innings with 9 K and 2 BB? That’l do. |
| Jeurys Familia, RHP | |
|
Even Familia’s down week before this one wasn’t that bad. This one, however, featured five innings of dominance. |
| Sean Gilmartin, LHP | |
-- | The lefty did not pitch this week. |
| Erik Goeddel, RHP | |
|
Goeddel was very good in 2.2 innings of work out of the bullpen. |
| Matt Harvey, RHP | |
|
With a ton of attention focused upon him for his innings limit, Harvey turned in one of his worst major league start against the Nationals on Tuesday night. |
| Steven Matz, LHP | |
|
The results were good—five innings, one run—but Matz had to work hard to get them. |
| Jon Niese, LHP | |
|
Niese had a 6.75 ERA for the week, not exactly an encouraging sign as he has struggled for a while now. |
| Eric O’Flaherty, LHP | |
-- | This lefty also did not pitch. |
| Bobby Parnell, RHP | |
|
Parnell threw one-and-one-third innings yesterday and didn’t get shelled. Victory! |
| Addison Reed, RHP | |
|
With seven strikeouts and one walk in four scoreless innings, Reed had another good week for the Mets. He has a 0.00 ERA and 1.39 FIP since the team acquired him. |
| Hansel Robles, RHP | |
|
Robles threw two scoreless innings—and they were important ones—early in the week before he had to miss a few games to mourn the death of his grandfather with his family. |
| Noah Syndergaard, RHP | -- | |
Coming off a long period of rest between starts, Syndergaard was outstanding in his start. |
| Tim Stauffer, RHP | -- | |
A September call-up for the Mets, the veteran gave up two runs in his first inning with the team. |
| Carlos Torres, RHP | |
|
He only threw one-and-a-third innings but didn’t give up any runs. |
| Logan Verrett, RHP | -- | -- | Verrett didn't pitch, but he starts tonight in Harvey's place in the rotation. |
