Mets Saturday Lineup vs Toronto ( Ryu )

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Damn....prior to the AS game, Tai Walker hadn't won a game since July 3rd.
After the AS game, he's been mediocre and less than stellar in his 2 outings, including today.

6-0 Jays.
Walker lasts only 4 (he gave up 3 in the 3rd)...and 3 more in the 5th...without getting an out.
Last time out he couldn't make it out of the 1st, with that botched 3 run error.

Miguel Castro comes in now to mop up in the 5th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets finally on the board in the 5th...
Guillorme singled with 1 out...
Brandon Drury doubled PH for Castro...
Nimmo singled to score Guillorme...
Pete singled scoring Drury...
Smith singled to plate Nimmo to chase Ryu....

It's now Jays 6 - Mets 3....and still only 1 out..
Mets have runners at 1st & 2nd

JD Davis facing the new Toronto pitcher..

Edit:
Davis & McCann both K'd swinging.

6-3 after 5.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Yennsy Diaz tossed a 3 up/3 down frame in the 6th.

LFGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Drew Smith gave up a solo HR in the 7th.
Stretch time at Citi.
Mets trail 7-3. They have their work cut out tonight.

Walker not worried about woes: 'I'll be fine'

NEW YORK -- As the Mets approach the July 30 Trade Deadline, there are two sides to their rotation equation. One comes from the front office, which is working toward acquiring additional pitching upgrades, even after trading for Rich Hill this week. The Mets know they still need help. The

D'oh!

Peterson to undergo surgery on right foot

NEW YORK -- When David Peterson sustained a right oblique strain earlier this month, the Mets knew he would be sidelined for several weeks. They could not have predicted what would come next. Just as he was recovering from the oblique strain, Peterson injured his right foot while walking through

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets strike first.
JD Davis doubled...and Jonathan Villar singled him in

Mets 1 - Toronto 0..end of 2.

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Well...Rich Hill looked good for 5 innings, then he suddenly couldn't get an out in the 6th..and left after loading the bases.
Seth Lugo came in and right off the bat gave up a 2 run single....then after allowing another run, he settled down to get the next 3 batters.

New Jays pitcher got Guillorme to ground out.

It's now 5-3 Mets...heading to the 7th.

All Familia did was strike out Biggio & Springer.. then he got Guerrero Jr to ground out weakly for a 3up/3down inning.

Stretch time at Citi.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I get that challenge by Toronto on the Mets double steal...but not the overturn call.

Onto the 8th.

May is yanked for Aaron Loup.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Final:
Mets 5 - Blue Jays 4
Pete went deep. McNeil had a clutch PH.

The Wrap/Recap....

What curse? Pete continues post-Derby tear

NEW YORK -- Pete Alonso generally scoffs at the notion that the Home Run Derby could affect his swing for the worse, and the prevailing evidence is on his side -- so much so, in fact, that the better question might be this: did the Derby actually help Alonso? There’s

Trainer's Room....

Mets RHP Jacob deGrom (forearm tightness) threw off a mound and felt good, according to Mgr Luis Rojas.
He said deGrom is progressing, but his next step hadn't been determined yet and no decision will be made on whether to schedule a minor league rehab assignment until the two-time Cy Young Award winner goes "full tilt" off a mound.
RHP Carlos Carrasco could finally be ready to join the Mets after a strong rehab start Sunday for Triple-A Syracuse. The 34-year-old Carrasco struck out six and walked none in three scoreless innings of two-hit ball against Buffalo. He threw 32 of 38 pitches for strikes following a rough outing last time out. "Very encouraging," Rojas said, adding that Carrasco's next appearance could be in the majors or minors. Carrasco has been sidelined all season recovering from a hamstring injury after coming over from Cleveland in the January trade that also brought Francisco Lindor to New York




Up Next....
Mets begin a five-game home series against Atlanta with a doubleheader Monday. RHP Marcus Stroman (7-8, 2.59) is scheduled to start the opener, with the nightcap TBD. The third-place Braves are five games behind the Mets.

Gary, Keith to join Ron at HOF ceremony
