Big revenge slide tonight. Kyle Harrison face the Medals, Mike Burrows you get Pirates, too Kevin Gausman you’re back in Atlanta.
1. More Mets
The Mets played their 12th overtime game of the year on Monday in Seattle. That’s more than three clubs. As MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo notes, New York is on pace to set the record for most games played in a season, currently held by the Red Sox (31 in 1943). “It’s wrong,” the manager Carlos Mendoza he told reporters, relayed by DiComo. “But it’s part of it. You have to move on. You have to find a way. I feel like we’ve been playing a lot of games together.” The Mets had won five straight extra-inning contests, including a 10-inning victory Friday against the Marlins. Mariners second baseman Cole Young ended the New York series with a song out yesterday.
2. Mlodzinski returns to Pirates
The Pirates brought back a right fielder Carmen Mlodzinski before a three-game series against the Astros. He is expected to be there to play on Tuesday. Mlodzinski was placed on the restricted list over the weekend after the team determined he was ineligible to play Sunday against the Twins. The righty just lost his swing position when he was right handed Jared Jones you are back in IL. He was a righty back-to-back candidate Braxton Ashcraft per week. Instead, he could work behind the right hand Bubba Chandler tonight. Chandler hasn’t gone more than five innings in a start since mid-April.
3. deGrom gets 100th win
Right hand guards Jacob deGrom tossed five scoreless frames against the Cardinals on Monday, earning the win. It was the 100th win of his 13-year MLB career. He is the 16th active pitcher to reach the 100-game hitting mark, notes MLB.com’s Jeff Jones. deGrom had 82 wins during nine years with the Mets. That includes back-to-back Cy Young seasons in 2018 and 2019. The righty recorded 12 wins with the Rangers last year, his most in a season since 2017.
