LHP Jose Quintana (6-6, 3.89) vs. RHP Griffin Canning (3-10, 5.25)
SNY
The New York Mets will try to bounce back this afternoon and take the series from the Los Angeles Angels. The Mets roared last night with a four-run seventh inning (J.D. Martinez grand slam) to take the lead, but the bullpen gave the lead right back in the bottom of the seventh.
The Mets slipped out of the wild card by half a game due to the loss and now trail the Braves (+2), Padres (+1) and the Diamondbacks (+0.5). Like every game for the rest of the season, today is a big one for the Mets.
Jose Quintana over 113 1/3 innings has a 3.89 ERA, 4.92 FIP, 1.262 WHIP, and a 101 ERA+. In his last two starts, he has allowed only two runs from eight hits and six walks while striking out 11 batters over 11 innings.
Since June 15, he has a 1.91 ERA (4.42 FIP) over 47 innings with only one terrible start. Quintana is hitting his stride when the Mets need him the most.
The Angels have the following career numbers against him:
The Mets’ bats will close out the series against Griffin Canning who has tossed 116 2/3 innings over 22 starts with a 5.25 ERA, 5.33 FIP, 1.414 WHIP, and an 82 ERA+. In his last three starts, he has allowed 13 runs over 14 1/3 innings. He was effective in one of those starts, allowing only one run over five innings, the other two starts not so much.
The Mets have the following career numbers against Canning:
Yesterday, it was reported that pitcher Brandon Sproat was promoted from Double-A to Triple-A. Sproat has a 2.05 ERA across 87 2/3 innings pitched this year.
Tomorrow, the New York Mets will take a one-off trip to St. Louis to make up a game that was previously postponed. Afterwards, they’ll head right back out toward the West Coast to face the Rockies.
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza says Sean Reid-Foley and Reed Garrett will both pitch for Double-A Binghamton today as they continue their rehab.
