Yankees vs Mets Preview Article (Friday)

German is 2-5 with a 2.49 ERA in 18 appearances and is making his 13th start. Since entering the Yankees' rotation on May 6, German has experienced some good moments but owns a 5.97 ERA as a starting pitcher after allowing six runs in four innings in a 6-5 loss at Cleveland last Friday.
One of German's better starts occurred last month against the Mets. He allowed first-inning homers to Todd Frazier and Asdrubal Cabrera but held the Mets to three runs in six innings while getting nine strikeouts in a 4-3 win.
Syndergaard was close to returning from a finger injury last month against the Yankees but did not come back until last Friday when he allowed one run and seven hits in five innings of a 4-2 win over the Washington Nationals.
The hard-throwing Syndergaard is making his second career start against the Yankees. His previous start against the Yankees was Sept. 19, 2015, when he allowed five runs and seven hits in six innings of a 5-0 loss at Citi Field.
 
Went exactly as planned. It was nice to be able to see the most recent results when capping this one lol
 
FWIW Mets didn’t even get Familia up in the pen to warm up let alone come in to close. Kind of weird. He has had 6 days off and don’t think he’s hurt. Must be close to trading him.
