The All-Star break did not do the New York Mets any favors, as the club has gone 9-17 since returning to the diamond. The Mets recent woes have been especially bad at home where they have gone just 3-10 in their past 13 games. New York will continue their weekend series with the San Diego Padres Saturday.
Jacob deGrom has been pitching like a man possessed recently with the righty posting a 1.52 ERA and a 49/9 strikeout-to-walk ratio in his past eight starts. DeGrom struggled in his first start against the Padres this season, as he surrendered eight hits and three runs over 5.0 innings.
Jarred Cosart’s two appearances with the Padres were both bad for different reasons. Cosart’s first outing saw him surrender six walks in just 3.1 innings while his second saw him get tagged for 10 hits and five runs.
