Impact The veteran southpaw hasn't recorded a win since June 23, back when he was still with the Rays, but it's not for lack of trying. Over his last four starts, Hill sports a 2.45 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 22:2 K:BB through 22 innings.

Blanks Nats in no-decision Hill didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 6-2 extra-inning win over the Nationals, allowing three hits and two walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out four.
Impact The veteran lefty tossed 53 of 85 pitches for strikes and appeared headed for his seventh win of the season until Edwin Diaz blew the save in the ninth inning. Hill settled for his sixth quality start -- and first since May 25 -- instead, and he'll carry a 3.92 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 119:45 K:BB through 133 innings into his next outing.

Tough loss Friday Hill (6-6) took the loss Friday as the Mets fell 2-1 to the Nationals, giving up two runs on five hits over five innings. He struck out eight without walking a batter.
Impact The veteran left-hander tossed 62 of 91 pitches for strikes in a strong effort, but he got little run support. Hill's performance has taken a step backward since the trade from the Rays, going 0-2 to begin his Mets' tenure with a shaky 4.83 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 24:7 K:BB through 31.2 innings.

Takes first loss with new team Hill (6-5) took the loss Saturday versus the Dodgers. He allowed three runs on six hits and struck out two in five innings.
Impact This was the 41-year-old's first loss as a Met. All three runs Hill allowed came on solo home runs. It marks the second time in his last five starts that Hill's allowed multiple homers, although he kept the ball in the yard in the other three outings. For the year, he owns a 4.13 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 107:43 K:BB across 122 innings. The southpaw lines up for a home start versus Washington during next weekend's three-game series.

Can't escape fourth inning Hill went 3.2 innings in Monday's 7-5 loss to the Giants, allowing two runs on six hits with two strikeouts. He didn't factor into the decision.
