Atlanta at NY Mets When: 7:10 PM ET, Tuesday, July 8, 2014 Where: Citi Field, New York City, New York SportsDirect Inc. Julio Teheran has pitched like an All-Star most of the season and the Atlanta Braves right-hander will find himself in Minneapolis for baseball’s Midsummer Classic next week. Teheran takes the mound Tuesday as the Braves play the second of four games at the New York Mets looking to defeat New York for the second consecutive start. The Mets bring plenty of momentum into the contest after Monday’s wild 4-3, series-opening victory, with Ruben Tejada’s line-drive single in the 11th inning plating the game-winning run. Tejada is hitting .315 in his past 15 games and Curtis Granderson has homered three times in his past seven games – including a game-tying eighth-inning blast Monday. New York has defeated the Braves just twice in the past seven matchups. Atlanta rookie catcher Christian Bethancourt continues to impress while filling in for injured Evan Gattis, hitting .286 in seven games. TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, SportSouth (Atlanta), WPIX 11 (New York) PITCHING MATCHUP: Braves RH Julio Teheran (8-5, 2.29 ERA) vs. Mets RH Jacob deGrom (1-5, 3.77) Teheran held the Mets to one run on four hits in seven innings Wednesday as Atlanta won 3-1. Since allowing seven runs at Colorado on June 11, Teheran has surrendered six earned runs with five walks and 30 strikeouts in 29 innings across his past four starts. Teheran hit 13 batters in 185 2/3 innings last season, but has plunked only three in 126 innings this year. DeGrom lost at Atlanta on Wednesday, giving up three runs on six hits with eight strikeouts in five innings. The 26-year-old rookie has won just once in his first 10 starts, but has given up three earned runs or less eight times. deGrom has not allowed a homer in his past five starts, and in his past three appearances is 1-1 with a 2.49 ERA in 18 2/3 innings. WALK-OFFS: 1. New York P Josh Edgin had retired the first hitter he faced in 23 appearances to start the season – a franchise record – before allowing Jason Heyward’s single in the eighth Monday. 2. The Mets plan to activate P Dillon Gee (strained right lat muscle) from the disabled list to start Wednesday, taking the place of Jon Niese, who was placed on the DL Saturday with a left shoulder strain. 3. Atlanta 1B Freddie Freeman recorded his 11th three-hit game of the season Monday.

Nice Ka-Boom for Granderson!

I'd like to think that the thread-title-quality has had direct impact on the Flushingers' performance over the last two. This one-- and that Grandyshot-- portends very well.

Barehanded and arm-whipped a slow grounder to get Simmons by a hair. deGrom's not pitching badly this inning... he's just being made to labor.

Somebody finally hit something that Heyward couldn't catch up to. One more run and we outscore Germany.

Try and think, though, that it's a week later and the Mets are some'n'how four games closer. And, if the game ends with this score (or more favorable for the Mets) then the Mets will have a better season-long RS/RA number than the Braves - and yet be 8 games behind.

DeGrom's a keeper. At the start of the season, I didn't envision him being ahead of Thor and Montero.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 08 2014 08:09 PM Re: Teheranasaurus Wrecks IGT 7/8/14

This is some kind of storm coming. Hope for a quick 9th.

Around the league tonight ... - Yanx hand Tanaka a 2-run lead in the 1st, but lose 5-3 in large part due to a tie-breaking Nick Swisher HR. Good thing the Yanx got rid of all those HR hitters they hated (like Swisher & Grandy) in favor of a small-ball/pop-gun offense. Maybe it's time for them to re-think that wish. - O's at Nats rained out tonight. It was to be the 2nd game of their 4-game 2+2 series but they're not going to make it up either Wednesday or Thursday by doing a 2-games/2-cities/one-day thing that the Mets & Yanx did twice. Yeah, those stadiums are 40 miles apart rather than 6, but it would be doable in a day/night way.

Zvon Jul 08 2014 08:19 PM Re: Teheranasaurus Wrecks IGT 7/8/14

Dammit. I wanted the back-end of the pen to get the night off. That'll cost you more than a sip Mr. Eveland. And you look like a guy who likes his beer. Tisk, tisk.

Not the prettiest game ever, but we won by a healthy margin despite giving up 13 hits overall and 10 to the combo of Heyward, Freeman, Upton & Upton.

Edgy MD Jul 09 2014 04:00 AM Re: Teheranasaurus Wrecks IGT 7/8/14

Holy crap. The Mets just knocked the Braves out of first. By a single percentage point, but still.
