Last night the ~~New York Michael Confortos~~ New York Mets beat the Padres 9-3 thanks in large part to a gigantic 1st inning where Conforto started the game with a lead-off homer and at the end of the inning hit a 2-run single. He would later add another homer in the game as he continues to be the most exciting player in the Mets lineup. The Mets look to continue last night’s vibes behind Robert Gsellman against Jarred Cosart.

Gsellman is 2-3 over 10 games and seven starts as he returns to the rotation with 38.2 innings of work, a 6.75 ERA, 4.56 FIP and 1.733 WHIP. He left the rotation on May 13th after allowing nine hits and six runs to the Brewers over 4.0 innings. Four days later he allowed one run in one inning of work against the Diamondbacks and then three days after that, he allowed no runs over 2.0 inning against the Angels (before the rest of the pen made that game scary). Not surprisingly, considering Gsellman’s service time, he has not faced the Padres in his career or any one on the Padre’s roster in a Major League game.

The Mets draw Jarred Cosart, formerly of the Miami Marlins and Houston Astros, who is 0-1 over four games and three starts this year totaling 13.1 innings with a 2.70 ERA, 3.78 FIP and 1.500 WHIP. Last year he pitched in two games against the Mets totaling 10.2 innings with 7 hits and 5 walks allowing 4 runs. The Mets have the following numbers against Cosart:
