As of 9:00am EST this morning, here are today’s Mets minor league starting pitchers:
Salt Lake Bees @ Las Vegas 51s, 10:05pm EST
Barry Enright (3-3, 7.50 ERA) vs. Rafael Montero (0-1, 3.18 ERA)
Montero is looking for his first career win in Triple-A tonight after his second straight no decision. He last pitched on June 20th against Tucson, giving up three runs on eight hits, two walks, and seven strikeouts in five innings pitched. He continues to get acclimated to life in the Pacific Coast League, and will make his second start in front of the home crowd at Cashman Field. He’s started once in Vegas, and holds a 1.69 ERA in 5.1 innings pitched.
Binghamton Mets @ Portland SeaDogs, 7:00pm EST
Darin Gorski (1-0, 2.00 ERA) vs. Keith Couch (5-2, 4.17 ERA)
Gorski is continuing his rehab in Double-A, and won on June 19th against Richmond. He allowed one run on three hits, three walks, and seven strikeouts in five innings pitched. In two starts this month with Binghamton, the southpaw has thrown nine innings, allowing two runs on seven hits, four walks, and 12 strikeouts.
Bradenton Mauraders @ St. Lucie Mets 10:30 am EST
TBD vs. Rainy Lara (1-2, 2.59 ERA)
Lara’s June 19th start against Charlotte was his shortest of the season with St. Lucie, but he actually ended up getting his first win. He allowed three runs, seven hits, two walks, and seven strikeouts in five innings pitched. He’ll make his fourth start at Tradition Field since being promoted from Savannah. Lara is 1-1 with a 2.45 ERA with three walks and 18 strikeouts in 18.1 innings pitched. Opponents are hitting .229 off him in front of the home crowd.
Savannah Sand Gnats @ Augusta GreenJackets, 7:05pm EST
Gabriel Ynoa (8-2, 2.77 ERA) vs. TBD
Ynoa last pitched in the first half finale for Savannah, leading the Sand Gnats to an 8-0 shutout. The right-hander threw five shutout innings, allowing three hits, no walks, and six strikeouts. He’ll look to improve upon his road record in his seventh start away from Grayson Stadium. He’s currently 3-2 with a 3.76 ERA, five walks, and 27 strikeouts in 38.1 innings pitched. Opponents are hitting .253 off him on the road, while they’re only hitting .174 against him at home.
Brooklyn Cyclones @ Hudson Valley Renegades, 7:05pm EST
Miller Diaz (0-1, 3.86 ERA) vs. Ben Griset (0-0, 0.00 ERA)
Diaz will look to complete the three-game sweep at Hudson Valley tonight. His first start of the season came June 19th against Staten Island. He allowed five runs (two earned) on seven hits, one walk, and four strikeouts in 4.2 innings pitched.
Kingsport Mets @ Bristol White Sox, 7:00pm EST
TBD vs. Cal Bowling (0-0, 5.40 ERA)
The probable starter for the K-Mets hasn’t been announced yet. Once I found out, I will update this post.
GCL Mets @ GCL Cardinals, 12:00pm EST
Michael Fulmer (0-0, 0.00 ERA) vs. TBD
The GCL Mets are trying to get their first win of the season today after mustering only three hits yesterday in their third consecutive loss. Fulmer continues his rehab from knee surgery today, moving from extended spring training to the GCL. His path after today is currently unclear, but when we find out an update, we’ll be sure to let everyone know.
Michael Fulmer = Awesome.
