IGT 04/27 - Reds @ Mets

Cincinnati at NY Mets When: 7:10 PM ET, Wednesday, April 27, 2016 Where: Citi Field, New York City, New York SportsDirect Inc. Matt Harvey finally broke into the win column last week but he has hardly looked the part of an ace for the surging New York Mets, who look to continue their domination of the visiting Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday night in the finale of a three-game series. Harvey will make his fifth start as the Mets go for their 11th consecutive victory over Cincinnati. One positive for Harvey is the expected return to the lineup of outfielder Yoenis Cespedes, who delivered a pinch-hit three-run homer Tuesday to help New York improve to 10-2 in its last 12 games. Cespedes, who missed the series opener with a leg injury, has five homers and 14 RBIs during an eight-game hitting streak while Michael Conforto is 9-for-18 during a five-game string. Reds shortstop Zack Cozart has his safely in 14 of 15 games to boost his batting average to .390. Jon Moscot makes his sixth career start in the series finale for Cincinnati, which has dropped three in a row and five of its last six. TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, FSN Ohio (Cincinnati), SNY (New York) PITCHING MATCHUP: Reds RH Jon Moscot (0-1, 5.06 ERA) vs. Mets RH Matt Harvey (1-3, 5.24) The Reds have scored a total of four runs in Moscot's first two starts, but the rookie did little to help himself with an erratic performance versus the Chicago Cubs on Friday, walking four and giving up four runs (three earned) on three hits. Moscot was victimized by the long ball in his season debut at St. Louis, surrendering a pair of homers while allowing three runs on six hits over 5 2/3 innings. He has been tough on left-handed hitters (4-for-19). Although he was staked to an early 4-0 lead in Atlanta on Friday night, Harvey needed 101 pitches to get through five innings and was charged with two runs on seven hits in snapping a three-start skid. Harvey permitted a total of 12 runs over his first three turns, including a season-high five at Cleveland on April 16. He is 2-0 with a 2.36 ERA in four career starts against the Reds, although Cozart is 4-for-8 with a pair of doubles against him. WALK-OFFS: 1. New York's franchise-record streak of scoring first was snapped at 12 games Tuesday night. 2. Reds 2B Brandon Phillips missed Tuesday's game after he was hit by a pitch and fouled two balls off his left shin in the series opener. 3. The Mets placed C Travis d'Arnaud on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday due to a right rotator cuff strain and called up C Rene Rivera.

Another lineup with three starters missing, but still no room for Campbell.

I'm curious about leading off with De Aza instead of Laggy, too.

I hope the bruise on Harvey's ass doesn't interfere with his next photo shoot.

Zvon Apr 27 2016 06:33 PM Re: IGT 04/27 - Reds @ Mets

Someone out there sucks. I can't say or spell his name. 1-1 Mets

Zvon Apr 27 2016 06:35 PM Re: IGT 04/27 - Reds @ Mets

Walker with a line hit to right! Small ball! 2-1 Mets

Edgy MD Apr 27 2016 06:52 PM Re: IGT 04/27 - Reds @ Mets

Opposite-field Mets rool.

Welcome to the Harvey Bunting Adventure.

Zvon Apr 27 2016 06:56 PM Re: IGT 04/27 - Reds @ Mets

Gah..gotta be able to help yourself there Mattyboy.

Edgy MD Apr 27 2016 06:56 PM Re: IGT 04/27 - Reds @ Mets

Sheesh, he's horrible on the bunt.

Edgy MD Apr 27 2016 07:01 PM Re: IGT 04/27 - Reds @ Mets

I think not ringing up Wright for swinging on that last pitch was a giveback for that lousy called strike on the curve.

Edgy MD Apr 27 2016 07:03 PM Re: IGT 04/27 - Reds @ Mets

Four base runners and zero runs. #shmarvey

Edgy MD Apr 27 2016 07:08 PM Re: IGT 04/27 - Reds @ Mets

Best throw I've seen from Lagares in a while. Hammy would have been a dead duck.

Zvon Apr 27 2016 07:09 PM Re: IGT 04/27 - Reds @ Mets

Lags is looking as good as he ever has in the field. Nice to see that.

Walkers pulls a Muffy. Ha! Keith w/Fancy Dan remark.

Edgy MD Apr 27 2016 07:12 PM Re: IGT 04/27 - Reds @ Mets

Pulls-a-Muffy nothing. Daniel Murphy's error column is a big, fat zero this season.

Zvon Apr 27 2016 07:13 PM Re: IGT 04/27 - Reds @ Mets

Coy Roy! lolol

Zvon Apr 27 2016 07:16 PM Re: IGT 04/27 - Reds @ Mets

That was a big purple K.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 27 2016 07:17 PM Re: IGT 04/27 - Reds @ Mets

That briefly looked like trouble.

Edgy MD Apr 27 2016 07:18 PM Re: IGT 04/27 - Reds @ Mets

A rare premature call by Gary but we get some Walker redemption instead. Very nice.

Zvon Apr 27 2016 07:18 PM Re: IGT 04/27 - Reds @ Mets

Walker pulls a....a Zvon! I made a catch like that once. And my outfield days were over. Great play, great positioning.

Edgy MD Apr 27 2016 07:20 PM Re: IGT 04/27 - Reds @ Mets

The Mets get a hit and three walks in an inning but don't score. The Reds get a soft base hit by Votto to the outfield with Hamilton on second — and breaking with the pitch — and don't score. Very sterile game.

Edgy MD Apr 27 2016 07:22 PM Re: IGT 04/27 - Reds @ Mets

REDEMPTION PLUS for Walker! Suck it, John Buck.

Zvon Apr 27 2016 07:23 PM Re: IGT 04/27 - Reds @ Mets

Walker pulls a Walker with his 9th kaBOOM of the month!

Zvon Apr 27 2016 07:34 PM Re: IGT 04/27 - Reds @ Mets

3-1 Mets, middle of the 4th.

Zvon Apr 27 2016 07:38 PM Re: IGT 04/27 - Reds @ Mets

That's the way you do it Mattyboy!

I like this new guy.

batmagadanleadoff Apr 27 2016 07:41 PM Re: IGT 04/27 - Reds @ Mets

This team sucked it awfully for so many years, I still can't get used to the current model even though they pretty much ran away with the division once they "re-constituted" themselves last August -- and then went to the WS. Nowadays, I think, sometimes, that these Mets are an offensive juggernaut.

Zvon Apr 27 2016 07:42 PM Re: IGT 04/27 - Reds @ Mets

Yea, Gary, Chiller Theater. Where I first saw The Amazing Colossal Man.

Nowadays, I think, sometimes, that these Mets are an offensive juggernaut. I'm not quite there yet, but very close. Cespedes last night really pumped up those kind of thoughts. I'm not there yet for just that reason: so many years of not having something like this. I know it can be elusive.

Zvon Apr 27 2016 07:53 PM Re: IGT 04/27 - Reds @ Mets

3-2 Mets, bottom of the 5th coming up. Phils up on Nats, 1-0. Amazing to be scoreboard watching in April. Can't recall the last time I did that with the Mets.

Zvon Apr 27 2016 08:14 PM Re: IGT 04/27 - Reds @ Mets

Phils make it 2-0 with a chance to break it open in the 7th. Runners on the corners, 1 out, Herrera.

Zvon Apr 27 2016 08:19 PM Re: IGT 04/27 - Reds @ Mets

Fkn Hamilton. We gotta chew up their pen and spit it out.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 27 2016 08:22 PM Re: IGT 04/27 - Reds @ Mets

offensive juggernaut in action

Fun team to watch so far.

Fman99 Apr 27 2016 08:34 PM Re: IGT 04/27 - Reds @ Mets

Conforto is the shit.

Zvon Apr 27 2016 08:36 PM Re: IGT 04/27 - Reds @ Mets

Chooch goes yard in Washington. 3-0 Phils.
