San Francisco at NY Mets When: 7:10 PM ET, Monday, May 8, 2017 Where: Citi Field, New York City, New York By Gracenote The New York Mets watched their previously-surging offense grind to a halt on Sunday after learning that a key member of the pitching staff was being suspended by the team. The Mets will try to put Matt Harvey's drama behind them and get the bats working again when they host the San Francisco Giants in the opener of a three-game series. Harvey was supposed to start on the mound Sunday, but the former staff ace was instead suspended three games without pay for a violation of team rules. New York called up Adam Wilk to make the spot start but could not find him any support in the 7-0 loss, which ended a string of five straight games in which the Mets offense pushed across at least seven runs. New York will send Jacob deGrom to the mound on Monday to take on the National League-worst Giants (11-21), who are last in the NL in runs scored and were just swept in a three-game series at Cincinnati over the weekend by a combined 31-5. Left-hander Matt Moore will try to stop the bleeding when he takes the mound for San Francisco opposite deGrom. TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, ESPN, CSN Bay Area (San Francisco), SNY (New York) PITCHING MATCHUP: Giants LH Matt Moore (1-4, 6.75 ERA) vs. Mets RH Jacob deGrom (2-1, 3.68) Moore followed up a great start with his worst outing of the season when he was knocked around for nine runs on six hits and five walks in 3 1/3 innings at the Dodgers on Tuesday. The Florida native held that same Los Angeles squad to one run on two hits while striking out eight over seven innings on April 27. Moore is still getting used to the National League after coming over from the Tampa Bay Rays in a trade last summer and will be making his second career start against the Mets. DeGrom is displaying some dominant stuff with 40 strikeouts in 24 2/3 innings over his last four starts but is having some trouble keeping that stuff in the strike zone. The Stetson product earned a win at Atlanta on Wednesday despite allowing five runs on eight hits and five walks in five innings - the second time in the last three starts that he issued at least five free passes. DeGrom never had that problem when facing San Francisco and is 3-1 with a 3.42 ERA and seven walks allowed in 26 1/3 total innings against the Giants. WALK-OFFS: 1. The Mets claimed LHP Tommy Milone off waivers from the Milwaukee Brewers. 2. San Francisco SS Brandon Crawford (groin) will play in a minor-league rehab game on Monday with Double-A Richmond. 3. New York SS Asdrubal Cabrera (thumb) underwent an MRI that revealed no ligament damage on Sunday.

Hey, there is a problem! Mets down 2-0 on a homer by Vice President Pence. Who are these guys? The Mets are allowed to play teams outside of their division? Do these games count?

Frayed Knot May 08 2017 11:21 PM Re: IGT 5/8 Giants v. Mets Moore v deGrom

- another 1st inning deficit - another walk for deGrom - and another NYM pitcher in pitch-count trouble early on

Edgy MD May 08 2017 11:30 PM Re: IGT 5/8 Giants v. Mets Moore v deGrom

Mets equal yesterday's hit total. That glare off the building in right center is bad. I could see that getting a player hurt. Don't know why I never noticed that before.

Wilmer, a hit couldn't have said "triple" any more without an official ruling from the commissioner.

O-o-T-S break Nats down 6-1 in the 5th in game 1 of 'Beltway Series' That's Gio Gonzalez taking it on the chin. Marlins getting thumped by the Cardinals, 9-2 in the 5th Phils & Braves are idle today (some say they're idle even when they play but that's another issue) Yanx up 4-1 in Cincy despite getting into town probably around mid-morning sometime considering their late night at Wrigley. And the Cubs went from 6 hours of playing in sub-40 degree weather on an even longer trip out to Denver where ... the game is being delayed by a hailstorm

Edgy MD May 09 2017 12:52 AM Re: New Injury for Nimmo.

More interesting that TJ just dubbled! Not sure why Conforto didn't score. The leftfielder quit on that ball early.

Curtis took the time to return a fist-bump offered by a kid, a nice gesture while he was busy tarring his bat and preparing for a key appearance with his career on the line.

Pinch hits and fist bumps and AAA call ups are all well and good. But let's not lose sight of what's important. This game is supposed to be about the big black rubber penises, you guys.

Orioles hold on to win 6-4 -- they were leading 6-0 and the Nats had the final run thrown out at home plate. Didn't see the play but I don't see how it could have been a smart one considering that it was 2nd & 3rd with one out so is wasn't the tying run.

If Walkie's first-inning double hadn't skipped off the top of the wall and out of play, they would have been winning most of the night*. *Insert all-other-things-being-equal caveat.

Last two Familia outings -- Friday with a one-run lead, Monday in a tie game: a total of 2 innings, 6 up/6 down on just 12 pitches (7 on Friday, 5 yesterday). 12 pitches is more typically about what he throws to 2 batters. Perhaps not coincidentally he's had zero strikeouts in that time, relying instead on 3 Ground-Outs, 2 IF pops, and one Fly-out
