NEW YORK METS 89-73 · 3RD IN NL EAST
89-73 · 3RD IN NL EAST
Mets' battle for consistency continues in meeting with Rockies Buck Showalter used a track and field analogy to describe how the New York Mets' offense should optimally operate
Tylor Megill - Stuck with second loss Megill (3-2) took the loss Saturday as the Mets fell 5-2 to the Rockies, giving up three runs on six hits and three walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out four.
Impact The right-hander wasn't particularly sharp, throwing only 58 of 96 pitches for strikes, but he also didn't get much help from his offense as the Mets never led in the game. Megill will take a 4.33 ERA and 27:18 K:BB through 35.1 innings into his next start, likely to come on the road next weekend against the Nationals.

Carlos Carrasco - Delayed by illness Carrasco (elbow) won't make his scheduled rehab start due to illness, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact A bone spur in his elbow sent Carrasco to the injured list after just three starts, though he appeared to be nearly ready for his return. He was expected to make a rehab appearance over the weekend before returning to the active roster next week, but that timeline has now been pushed back, presumably by at least one start.

Daniel Vogelbach - On bench against lefty Vogelbach will sit against lefty Austin Gomber and the Rockies on Saturday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact Vogelbach has yet to start against a southpaw this season, and given his career .133/.252/.222 slash line against same-sided pitching, that's unlikely to change anytime soon. Pete Alonso will rest his legs as the designated hitter Saturday while Mark Canha starts at first base.

Jeff McNeil - Sits for first time McNeil will sit Saturday against the Rockies, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact McNeil's off day comes against lefty Austin Gomber, but as it's his first time out of the lineup all season, there's seemingly no reason to fear that he's slipping into a platoon role. Eduardo Escobar will take over at second base.

It was his third home run of the season and he's up to 12 extra-base knocks after the strong performance.

Adam Ottavino - Converts fourth save Ottavino allowed a hit in a scoreless inning and picked up a save over the Rockies on Friday.
Impact Ottavino was charged with his first blown save Wednesday but was quickly given the reigns in the ninth inning again. This time, he needed just 10 pitches to lock down the 1-0 win despite yielding a leadoff single to Randal Grichuk. Ottavino turned in his first scoreless appearance since April 25 and lowered his season ERA to 3.75 through 12 innings. He's converted four of his five save chances while adding in two holds.

Kodai Senga - Tosses six shutout frames Senga (4-1) allowed two hits and four walks over six scoreless frames Friday, striking out four and earning a win over the Rockies.
Impact All four of Senga's walks came during the first three frames before later allowing a pair of singles. He didn't face much danger and he found his way back in the win column after taking his first career loss in his last start. Senga dropped his ERA to 3.38 with a 36:22 K:BB through 32 frames. He forced 11 whiffs, marking the fourth time he's gotten double-digit swinging strikes through his first six starts. Senga is currently lined up to start in Cincinnati next week.
