Sean Manaea has tossed 89 1/3 innings over 17 starts this season with a 3.43 ERA, 3.68 FIP, 1.243 WHIP and a 113 ERA+. Over his last three outings in particular, he has allowed only one earned run across 18 innings while striking out 14 batters (0.50 ERA, 3.45 FIP). The only blemish on his ledger during that time has been a high walk rate as he’s allowed 10 free passes in his last three starts.
The Rockies have the following career numbers against Sean:
Tanner Gordon will pitch in his second major league game after making his debut a week ago. In his first outing, he allowed five runs on eight hits over 6 1/3 innings against the Kansas City Royals. Gordon utilized four different pitches in that game, including a low-90’s four seamer, mid-80’s change up and a mid-80’s slider to go with a sinker that he threw just once. In the minor leagues this season, he made seven starts totaling 33 2/3 innings with a 5.35 ERA and 1.455 WHIP (it’s also the PCL, so take the stats with a grain of salt). Gordon was originally drafted by the Braves and was dealt in the Pierce Johnson trade last season after struggling in the Atlanta farm system.
The Mets announced that David Peterson was placed on the Paternity List ahead of Friday’s game. In a corresponding move, the club recalled Eric Orze from Triple-A Syracuse after initially optioning him on Tuesday following his major league debut against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters that reliever Sean Reid-Foley is “trending in the right direction” as he works his way back from a right shoulder impingement. His most recent appearance came on June 19 before being placed on the injured list on June 22. Through 23 games this season, Reid-Foley has posted a 1.66 ERA and 2.80 FIP across 21 2/3 innings.
Let’s go Mets!
