Citi Field




Héctor Noesi RH (_-_, _.__, _ Ks) - Miami Marlins


Zack Wheeler, RH (8-6, 4.45, 144 Ks) - New York Mets

MARLINS: Veteran right-hander Noesi will make his Marlins debut and first MLB appearance since 2015. After three seasons in the Korea Baseball Organization, Noesi went 11-4 with a 3.82 ERA in Triple-A this year.

METS: In his first two starts back from the injured list, Wheeler threw 73 and 88 pitches. The reins should be fully off Tuesday, as Wheeler looks to climb above 100 pitches against the Marlins. He’s beaten them once already this season, on May 10.

BOXSCORE





Wednesday, 7th August,

Citi Field




Jordan Yamamoto, RH (4-2, 3.94, 49 Ks) - Miami Marlins


Steven Matz, LH (6-7, 4.60, 97 Ks) - New York Mets

MARLINS: In his last start against the Twins, Yamamoto pitched six innings, allowing four runs on seven hits while striking out a career-high eight batters. He will face the Mets for the first time on Wednesday.

METS: Things unraveled quickly in Matz’s last start, but prior to that, he had posted a 1.89 ERA in three outings since the All-Star break. A bit more consistency is what the Mets need out of Matz, who is now the lone left-handed pitcher in their rotation.
