The game got a little a dicey at the end, but the Mets were able to hold off the Orioles last night and snap their three game losing streak. Curtis Granderson got the Mets on the board immediately with a lead-off homer and then added a second homer later in the game while Jacob deGrom dominated for 7.2 innings. The ninth inning was a bit of an adventure, but it doesn’t matter the Mets won the game and look to take the two game set tonight.

Noah Syndergaard is 7-6 over 17 games and 105.2 innings with a 3.07 ERA. Two starts ago was quite rough for Noah as he allowed 5 ER over 4.0 innings and rebounded nicely in his last start allowing 3 ER over 7.0 (d’Arnaud took some blame for the pitch sequence in the first inning that allowed multiple runs). He missed the Orioles this year and he hasn’t faced anyone on the Orioles roster yet in a major league game.

Ubaldo Jimenez is 9-7 over 23 starts and 131.0 innings while posting a 3.92 ERA. So far in August he has made one brilliant start against the Angels holding them scoreless for 8.0 innings sandwiched between two below-average starts. This has been the story of his season recently as he was having a terrific season up to the All-Star break. Earlier this year he faced the Mets allowing 3 ER over 6 hits and 4.0 innings. The Mets have the following numbers against Ubaldo:
