The Mets' pitching staff was once again led by Jacob deGrom, Zack Wheeler, Jenrry Mejia, and Jeurys Familia.
The Mets' pitching staff had an up-and-down week. When things went well, they went very well, as the team allowed just five runs in total in the three games it won. Unfortunately, it gave up twenty-one runs in the three games it lost.
| Player | Last Week | This Week | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vic Black, RHP |  |  | Black threw 1.2 scoreless with a strikeout and a walk. He’s been effective despite generally high walk rates this year. |
| Buddy Carlyle, RHP | | | With 3.1 scoreless innings, 4 strikeouts, and no walks this week, Carlyle was again impressive. The guy has a 0.87 ERA and 1.88 FIP in 10.1 major league innings this year. |
| Bartolo Colon, P | | | Colon was very good against the Phillies and very bad against the Giants this week. |
| Jacob deGrom, RHP |  | | deGrom carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning and wound up allowing just two runs in 7.1 innings with 7 strikeouts and one walk. He’s been fantastic. |
| Josh Edgin, LHP | |  | Edgin only threw an inning in total over three appearances, but he served up the Chase Utley grand slam on Tuesday night. |
| Dana Eveland, LHP | | | Eveland made three appearances totaling two innings but gave up one run in that time. |
| Jeurys Familia, RHP | | | WIth another couple of scoreless frames, Familia continued his very good year out of the Mets’ bullpen. |
| Dillon Gee, RHP | | | Gee allowed five runs on five hits and walked more than he struck out in his start this week. |
| Daisuke Matsuzaka, RHP | |  | On the shelf with an elbow injury, Matsuzaka might not be back in the near future. |
| Jenrry Mejia, RHP | | | Mejia threw only one inning this week, but it was a scoreless one. As a relief pitcher, he has a 1.91 ERA and 2.69 FIP this year with 9.55 strikeouts and 3.55 walks per nine innings. |
| Jon Niese, LHP | | | Niese managed to throw eight-plus innings in his start, but he gave up five runs in the process. |
| Carlos Torres, RHP | | | Torres had a rough go of it again, but he only pitched two innings over the course of the week. |
| Zack Wheeler, RHP | | | In his one start this week, Wheeler gave up two runs in 6.2 innings with 4 strikeouts and 2 walks. |
