The Mets lost Tuesday night in the 9th inning, but really the important game note was Amed Rosario. Rosario made his Major League debut last night collecting an infield hit in his fourth at-bat. Matz was doing great until he wasn’t in the 6th and after that point the game became a back and forth affair until it was over.

Chris Flexen will make his second start for the Mets tonight as they continue to take a look at the 22-year-old arriving straight from Binghamton. In his debut in San Diego, he allowed five hits and four walks over 3.0 innings leading to four runs (three earned). His order for game two doesn’t get easier as he draws the stronger Rockies team in Colorado. Before being called up he was 6-1 between Binghamton and St. Lucie this year tossing 10 games and 61.1 innings with a 1.76 ERA and a 0.815 WHIP.

The Mets bats draw Tyler Chatwood who is 6-11 over 20 games and nine starts with 107.1 innings posting a 4.78 ERA, 5.12 FIP and 1.463 WHIP. He’s also leading the league in walks at 62. He is making his first start since facing the Mets back on July 15th where he allowed four hits and four runs with three walks while recording one out. He tossed an inning in relief between these starts where he allowed one hit and two walks leading to a run. In his last 17.0 innings over five games he has allowed 20 walks. The Mets have the following numbers against him:

  • Cabrera 2-10, HR, 3 BB
  • Bruce 3-7, HR
  • Cespedes 1-7, HR
  • Conforto 1-4, 3 BB
  • Reyes 2-7, 3B
  • Granderson 1-5, HR, BB
  • Walker 1-5, BB

Let’s Go Mets!
