Robert Gsellman pitched like a pitcher who didn’t want to leave the rotation last time out and on the season he is 3-3 over 51.2 innings in 12 games and 9 starts with a 5.75 ERA, 4.36 FIP and 1.529 WHIP. In his last start he allowed only 3 hits and 2 walks leading to 2 runs, 1 earned over 7.0 innings of work against the Brewers. He missed the Pirates last weekend, has never faced the Pirates before in his major league career and has never faced any Pirates as members of other teams, so everyone is getting a first look at Robert tonight.
Tyler Glasnow for the Pirates is 2-4 over 45.1 innings and 10 starts this year with a 6.95 ERA, 4.96 FIP and 1.897 WHIP. His last start was against the Mets and it didn’t go so well for Tyler as the Mets got him for 8 hits leading to 5 runs over 5.0 innings, ending a two game stretch of good performances for Tyler (before that he had a blow up against the Diamondbacks). The Mets have the following numbers against Tyler:
- Bruce 3-3, 2 2B
- Duda 0-3
- Granderson 1-3
- Reyes 1-3
- Walker 1-3
- Cabrera 1-2, 2B
- d’Arnaud 0-2
- Harvey 1-2
- Lagares 0-2
Notes –
Curtis Granderson recorded his 1,600th career hit with his single in the second inning last night and is the 23rd active player with 1,600 or more hit.
Let’s Go Mets!
