NY Mets at Seattle When: 10:10 PM ET, Tuesday, July 22, 2014 Where: Safeco Field, Seattle, Washington SportsDirect Inc. The New York Mets attempt to halt their three-game losing streak when they visit the Seattle Mariners for the middle contest of their three-game interleague series on Tuesday. New York picked up where it left off at the All-Star break, starting the second half by defeating the Padres in San Diego on Friday for its ninth victory in 11 contests. But the Mets have scored a total of three runs in three losses since, dropping a 5-2 decision in Monday's series opener as David Wright collected two hits and an RBI on the 10th anniversary of his major-league debut. Willie Bloomquist and Dustin Ackley each registered three hits and an RBI while All-Star Kyle Seager recorded a pair of run-scoring singles as Seattle kicked off its seven-game homestand with its second win in three contests. The Mariners received no rest after dropping two of three at Los Angeles in a series that took 37 innings. Seattle is 8-2 all-time against New York, including a perfect 4-0 mark at home. TV: 10:10 p.m. ET, SNY (New York), ROOT (Seattle) PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Jacob deGrom (3-5, 3.18 ERA) vs. Mariners RH Erasmo Ramirez (1-4, 4.58) DeGrom was superb over his last two starts, striking out 11 in seven scoreless innings of a win against Atlanta on July 8 before limiting Miami to one run over seven frames in a triumph five days later. The 26-year-old has allowed a total of six runs in his last five outings after yielding six in a loss at St. Louis on June 16. DeGrom has been less successful on the road than at home during his first major-league season, posting a 4.72 ERA as opposed to a 1.83 mark at Citi Field. Ramirez is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Tacoma to make his 12th start this year for the Mariners. The 24-year-old Nicaraguan won his 2014 debut in Los Angeles on April 1, limiting the Angels to two runs over a season-high seven innings, but lost four of his next five outings. Ramirez, who never has faced New York, is riding a string of five straight no-decisions and has allowed a total of two runs in 20 innings over his last four turns. WALK-OFFS: 1. Mets RF Curtis Granderson went 0-for-5 with four strikeouts Monday, putting him seven away from reaching the century mark for the eighth time in nine seasons. 2. Seager has produced two hits in three straight games and five of his last six. 3. New York C Travis d'Arnaud, who was robbed of a homer by Ackley, went 2-for-4 in the series opener and has hit safely in 17 of 20 games since returning from a stint in the minor leagues.

deGrom gets over on the Mariners tonight and he may pitch his way into the Rookie of the Year conversation, which had been looking like a one-man party for Sliding Billy Hamilton.

That knocks two guys off of our five-man bench, and the DH knocks a third down. We don't need to pinch-hit for any pitchers, but we're left with Campbell and Recker.

Mets Guy in Michigan Jul 22 2014 06:53 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

I don't know how I missed it, but I didn't realize deGrom was 26. For some reason I thought he was much younger.

d'Kong76 Jul 22 2014 07:32 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

I would have guessed younger, but looks like he went to school for a full four years before drafted.

Ashie62 Jul 22 2014 07:44 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

Nice to see an athlete put his education first...

d'Kong76 Jul 22 2014 07:52 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

More likely he wasn't on much of anyone's baseball radar until he got older.

Ashie62 Jul 22 2014 08:05 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

Could be... don't know how he was in high school....

Zvon Jul 22 2014 08:28 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

deGrom having a deIfficult 1st. OO, big K there.

Zvon Jul 22 2014 08:37 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

Wow, Jones didn't even touch it. Triple for Travis. 1-0 Mets

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 22 2014 08:37 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

dArnaud used to be the kind of guy whose at-bats I didn't even want to watch. Now, its the opposite

Zvon Jul 22 2014 08:44 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

Niiiice. I love cheap RBI bloop singles.

Zvon Jul 22 2014 09:04 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

deGrom seems to have settled down. Get that man more runs!

Edgy MD Jul 22 2014 09:05 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

d ' A r n a u d e G r o m That's the intersection of what you watch the Mets for.

Gwreck Jul 22 2014 09:07 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

Good trivia question on SNY: Who are the only 3 players to play in 200 games each for the Mariners and the Mets?

Zvon Jul 22 2014 09:08 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

Olerud would be one. The easy one I guess.

Edgy MD Jul 22 2014 09:09 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

Len Randle would be another.

Edgy MD Jul 22 2014 09:10 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

Steve Henderson.

Edgy MD Jul 22 2014 09:12 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

Whoop. We be whiffin'.

Zvon Jul 22 2014 09:14 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

Ricky didn't play that many games with Seattle, did he?

Gwreck Jul 22 2014 09:16 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

I had Mike Cameron and Olerud. Steve Henderson was the tough one. Endy needs about 10 more games with Seattle .

Edgy MD Jul 22 2014 09:24 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

We may need another shortstop after all.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 22 2014 09:36 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

Awful execution by Muff on the relay likely to tie the game.

Gwreck Jul 22 2014 09:42 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

Asshole in Piazza shirt interferes with a Young attempt to catch a pop-up. Yes, the ball was in the seats. But that's still idiotic

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 22 2014 09:44 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

Thankfully EY's good karma counteracted the Muffy muffing.

Zvon Jul 22 2014 09:49 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

Lets get to this Ramirez guy. Big time.

Zvon Jul 22 2014 09:56 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

Zvon Jul 22 2014 10:02 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

I like how Lagares manages to look put out by routine fly outs. Like they are just an inconvenience that he has to deal with.

Zvon Jul 22 2014 10:11 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

9 Ks by this Ramirez guy. Wtf? He's a scrub!

Zvon Jul 22 2014 10:13 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

This is a strange game cause we are winning 2-1 yet I feel like we are losing.

Frayed Knot Jul 22 2014 10:15 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

Sooner or later we're actually going to have to face a good pitcher; how many K's do you suppose we'll ring up then?

Edgy MD Jul 22 2014 10:22 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

We have a new Jake Monster.

Zvon Jul 22 2014 10:27 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

WOW. That woke me up.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 22 2014 10:28 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

I love Doodoo.

Edgy MD Jul 22 2014 10:29 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

Lewin lept out of his chair over that one.

Frayed Knot Jul 22 2014 10:30 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

First HR since before the break, no?

Zvon Jul 22 2014 10:30 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

Duda crushed that. 3-1 Mets. Still can't relax.

Frayed Knot Jul 22 2014 10:36 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

Lagares at the wall ... Yawn!

Zvon Jul 22 2014 10:38 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

He looked interested in that one. Nice grab, smooth.

Frayed Knot Jul 22 2014 10:40 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

OK, get rid of Cano here where he can't be the tying run and then you almost certainly take him out of the mix in the 9th

Two-headed Gil Hodges: at least a little disturbing.

Let's take a poll: I vote for NO drama in the bottom of the 9th

Well, somebody was paying attention at pitchers fielding practice.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 22 2014 11:02 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

He DOES look proud (and happily surprised), doesn't he? Mejia handling a potential 1-6-3 is a little more drama than I usually care for in my ninth, but hey... Books is Books.

Zvon Jul 22 2014 11:07 PM Re: IGT 7/22 Mets at Seadogs DeGrom day

That's a true test for a closer, right there. Good job Mr Mejia. He didn't panic with the grounder either. I think we got ourselves a closer. Parnell's pain in the neck has shaped the future.
