The Mets are coming off back to back disappointing losses as the offense struggles to get the gear back into the position. But things can change fast. A year ago today is when the Flores trade fell through. So tomorrow will be a year ago to day of one of the worst losses in the 2015 season. After that things changed quickly, so lets hope y’all!

Steven Matz takes the mound tonight. He’s 8-6 over 18 starts and 107.0 innings with a 3.36 ERA. His last time out he picked up his first win since May 25th as he tossed 6.0 scoreless innings against the Marlins in a game the Mets won 3-0. Matz missed the Rockies the first time around this year and didn’t face them last year so tonight will be his first time. No one on the Rockies roster faced Steven as a member of a different team.
The Mets will get a look at Tyler Chatwood tonight who has tossed 103.2 innings over 18 starts with a 9-6 record and a 3.65 ERA. After back to back starts in July where he allowed 11 ER over 8.0 innings, in his last start he allowed only one hit and no runs against the Braves in 5.0 innings (but walked 8 batters). In May he allowed 3 ER against the Mets over 7.0 innings. The Mets have the following numbers against Chatwood:
- Cabrera 2-7, HR
- Reyes 2-7, 3B
- Loney 1-6
- De Aza 0-4
- Cespedes 1-3, HR
- Conforto 1-3
- Granderson 1-3, HR

Let’s Go Mets!
