Colorado at NY Mets
When: 7:10 PM ET, Wednesday, August 12, 2015
Where: Citi Field, New York City, New York
SportsDirect Inc.

The New York Mets look to continue both their home dominance this season as well as their mastery of the visiting Colorado Rockies when the clubs play the third contest of their four-game series on Wednesday. After rallying for a 4-2 victory in the opener, National League East-leading New York improved its home mark to 40-18 by winning its eighth straight versus Colorado at Citi Field with a 4-0 triumph on Tuesday.

Former Rockie Michael Cuddyer collected two hits and scored twice on Tuesday in his first contest since returning from the disabled list, but is 1-for-10 with five strikeouts against Wednesday starter Jorge De La Rosa. Daniel Murphy, who is 11-for-26 (.423) in his last six meetings with Colorado, is 14-for-34 (.412) with six RBIs and as many runs scored during his eight-game hitting streak. While the Mets have won nine of their last 11, the Rockies have lost 14 of 19 on the road to firmly entrench themselves in the basement of the NL West. Nolan Arenado is riding a five-game hitting streak for Colorado, which has mustered just seven runs during its losing skid at Citi Field.

TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, ROOT (Colorado), SNY (New York)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Rockies LH Jorge De La Rosa (7-4, 4.85 ERA) vs. Mets RH Jacob deGrom (10-6, 2.13)

De La Rosa walked away with his third no-decision in four outings after allowing four runs on six hits in as many innings against Washington on Friday. The 34-year-old has enjoyed considerable success versus New York, improving to 5-1 in his career after tossing six strong frames in his last meeting. De La Rosa permitted three walks in that contest and has issued multiple free passes in 13 of his last 14 outings overall.

DeGrom was saddled with his third straight no-decision on Friday after yielding two solo homers among six hits in 6 1/3 innings against Tampa Bay. The 27-year-old certainly has deserved a better fate during that stretch, allowing just four runs and 14 hits over 20 frames. DeGrom handcuffed Colorado in his lone meeting, scattering three hits over eight innings last September to pick up the win.

WALK-OFFS:
1. New York has gone three straight contests without issuing a walk to increase its franchise record to 20 such games this season.
2. Colorado RF Carlos Gonzalez went 0-for-4 on Tuesday after going 7-for-21 with five homers and 11 RBIs in his previous five contests.
3. Mets 1B Lucas Duda, who sat out on Tuesday, is riding an 11-game hitting streak versus the Rockies.

I believe this is the first time Curtis has batted anyplace other than leadoff this year.

[TransMonk]

Holy crap!

Lagares made an impression last night. Keep it up, Laggy!

I have the Worries for Doodoo.

Yes, you're correct. In 103 previous starts this season, he was the leadoff hitter each time.

Stiff back, lefty starter, quick turn-around for tomorrow.
If he's not in Thursday's game then maybe it'll be time for DooDoo worries.

[ashie62]

Please start hitting Yoenis.

[Lefty Specialist]

Tonight, Old Guyz Rule.

LOL - Darren is fast, but not THAT fast!

[Theoldmole]

deGrom showing he can do,what pitchers don't do any more: pitch out of trouble.

[Edgy MD]

Beautiful night at the park.

Strange rooting for Tyler Clippard to pop up Jose Reyes.

[Guest themetfairy]

Cespedes homers - all hail to the Rally Parakeet!

[Guest themetfairy]

WTF is Cuddyer's at bat music here? What a depressing dirge! No wonder he popped up....

[Guest themetfairy]

I'm going to say this here and now - I am not impressed with Cespedes' fundies. Use Two Hands!!!!

No pics of CPFr's meeting up, here or on social media, disappointing!

Funny I read this as Cuddy was bumbling a grounder at first.

[Fman99]

PUT IT IN THE GOD DAMN BOOKS

[Guest themetfairy]

Despite a great lack of fundies, the Mets win the damn thing!

[Lefty Specialist]

Finally at .500 ball since the 11-game streak.

[Edgy MD]

.500 since the end of the winning streak.

The first winning streak.

[Frayed Knot]

Keep putting up those W's and make the Nats chew on it as they prepare to face Kershaw.
