RHP Luis Gil (9-2, 2.77) vs. LHP Sean Manaea (4-3, 4.16)
SNY • MLBN
The Mets enter play today only one game under .500 and only 1.5 games back in the Wild Card chase. Tuesday night’s game was more of an adventure than manager Carlos Mendoza hoped for. The Mets had a lead early, but David Peterson couldn’t go deep into the game. Multiple relievers struggled, and the Mets found themselves in a similar place to mid-May when they were without Edwin Díaz. But these Mets are the Grimace Mets and were able to hold onto the win. Now, the Mets look to sweep the two-game series against the Yankees.
Sean Manaea has started 14 games for the Mets, totaling 71 1/3 innings this season with a 4.16 ERA, 3.73 FIP, 1.290 WHIP, and a 92 ERA+. Over his last two starts, he has allowed four runs from six hits and four walks over 10 2/3 innings, which is a dramatic improvement from the two starts before that, where he allowed 12 runs over 9 1/3 innings. The Yankees have the following career numbers against Manaea:
Luis Gil has stepped up in a major way for the Yankees this season, making 15 starts (81 1/3 innings) with a 2.77 ERA, 3.31 FIP, 1.082 WHIP, and a 148 ERA+. The Mets are catching him, though, coming off of his worst start of the season. The Orioles tagged him for seven runs from eight hits over 1 1/3 innings last week. The last time he had a poor start was on April 26th, and Gil bounced back with 6 1/3 scoreless innings his next time out. Only two Mets have seen him in a game before:
Catcher Joe Hudson cleared waivers and has been sent outright to Triple-A Syracuse.
Luke Ritter hit his organization-leading 17th homer on Tuesday for Syracuse.
Brett Baty hit two more home runs on Wednesday. He has eight home runs in 65 at-bats since being sent down to Triple-A.
Drew Smith is getting an MRI after experiencing forearm tightness. He was placed on the IL and right-handed reliever Ty Adcock was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse. Adcock had a 3.45 ERA in 15 2/3 innings last year with the Mariners in the majors.
Let’s go Mets!
