Getting swept in the Subway Series was a bummer for the New York Mets (79-46) as they ended their 10-game road trip with a 4-6 record. The Mets also saw their lead in the National League East shrink from four games to 1.5 thanks to the Atlanta Braves’ demolition of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The good news is the Mets are back home after a day off and get to kick off a 10-game homestand against the struggling Colorado Rockies (54-71). First pitch for the opener of this four-game series is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. at Citi Field.
Right-hander Jacob deGrom (2-1, 2.31 ERA) is set to take the mound for the Mets tonight. deGrom had a rare subpar performance in his last start, giving up three runs in 6.2 innings last Thursday against the Atlanta Braves to suffer his first loss of the season. The Rockies will counter with righty Ryan Feltner (2-4, 5.88 ERA). Feltner pitched well in his last start, allowing one run in six innings against the San Francisco Giants last Saturday, but he was not a factor in the decision of a game the Rockies won 4-3 in 10 innings.
