7/19/19 Game Preview: New York Mets at San Francisco Giants

The New York Mets (44-52) saw their four game winning streak come to an end last night in painful fashion. Their game with the San Francisco Giants (48-49) lasted 16 innings, with the Mets grabbing a 2-1 lead in the top of the frame only to see the Giants score two off of Chris Mazza to win it in the bottom of the inning. The Mets will look to bounce back and even their series with the Giants tonight. First pitch for today’s game is scheduled for 10:15 p.m. at Oracle Park.

The Mets will send their ace, right hander Jacob deGrom (5-7, 3.21 ERA), to the mound today. deGrom had to work hard in his last start, allowing one run in five innings against the Miami Marlins on Sunday, but still walked away with his fifth win of the year. The Giants will counter with righty Tyler Beede (3-3, 5.44 ERA). Beede also picked up a win in his last start, allowing three runs in 6.2 innings to beat the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday.

Pre-Game Notes:

• deGrom is 4-2 with a 2.91 ERA in seven career starts against the Giants.
• The Mets beat up Beede in New York back on June 5, hammering him for six runs (five earned) in five innings to hand Beede his second loss of the year.
• Dominic Smith, Michael Conforto, and Wilson Ramos are back in the Mets’ lineup tonight. Smith will bat sixth and start in left field, Conforto will return to center field and bat second, while Ramos catches and bats fifth.
• Todd Frazier will get the night off tonight. Adeiny Hechavarria will start at third base and bat eighth.
• The Mets have recalled Tyler Bashlor and Stephen Nogosek from AAA Syracuse to add fresh arms to their bullpen after last night’s 16 inning marathon. Chris Mazza and Luis Guillorme were optioned to make room for the relievers on the active roster.
• Buster Posey is 4 for 14 with a double and a homer in his career against deGrom.
• Conforto and Amed Rosario homered against Beede back in New York while Jeff McNeil went 2 for 3 against him in that game.
