Good Morning, Mets fans!
Today, the Mets and Steven Matz(1-3, 4.42 ERA) will begin an eight-game road-trip. They’ll begin their journey in Milwaukee as they’ll take on the Brewers at Miller Park. Matz will face off against Zach Davis(2-3, 4.24 ERA). The game will be on SNY and 710WOR at 8:10 P.M.
Last night’s game was just embarrassing. The Mets offense were only able to score one run against the Marlins’s putrid pitching and only scored four runs the entire series. Jacob deGrom pitched another gem, but his outstanding performance was negated by Jeurys Familia, who suffered his fourth blown save this season.
