NY Mets at LA Dodgers
When: 10:10 PM ET, Tuesday, May 10, 2016
Where: Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, California
SportsDirect Inc.

The New York Mets ousted the Los Angeles Dodgers from the playoffs last season and posted another victory in their initial meeting of this campaign. New York registered a 4-2 victory in the series opener and aims to record another win when they visit the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Mets left fielder Yoenis Cespedes had a run-scoring single in Monday's game to raise his National League-leading RBI total to 31. The red-hot Cespedes has 10 homers and 28 RBIs over his past 19 games and has nine multiple-RBI outings so far this season. Los Angeles will attempt to solve New York's Jason deGrom on Tuesday after the right-hander went 2-0 with a 1.38 ERA in two starts in last season's National League Division Series. The Dodgers have lost nine of their last 13 games and have scored three runs or fewer in eight of the nine defeats.

TV: 10:10 p.m. ET, MLB Network, SNY (New York), SportsNet LA (Los Angeles)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Jacob deGrom (3-1, 1.99 ERA) vs. Dodgers LH Alex Wood (1-3, 5.18)

DeGrom suffered his first defeat of the season in his last turn when he gave up three runs and eight hits in five innings against San Diego. He allowed two total earned runs over his first three starts of the campaign before not having his best stuff against the Padres. The 27-year-old deGrom is 0-2 with a 3.66 ERA in three regular-season starts against the Dodgers and has been ineffective against first baseman Adrian Gonzalez (3-for-8, two homers).

Wood is winless in his past four starts and served up three homers while losing to Tampa Bay in his last outing. He has pitched well in each of his two home outings, allowing one run on both occasions while beating Arizona and receiving a no-decision against San Diego. Wood is 0-3 with a 4.35 ERA in seven career starts against the Mets and has experienced issues retiring third baseman David Wright (3-for-7).

WALK-OFFS:
1. Mets RF Curtis Granderson homered on Monday's first pitch � the 37th leadoff blast of his career.
2. Los Angeles RF Yasiel Puig was hitless in four at-bats in the opener and is 1-for-13 over the past four contests.
3. New York leads the majors with 49 homers � the highest total in franchise history through 31 games.

Hi, I'm left-hander Alex Wood. You may remember me and my jerky-jerky motion when I was featured in such films as 'Braves 2013-15', or 'Bombed by Yeonis'
I've never beaten the Mets in 7 starts [0-3; 4.35 - all with Atlanta] before being dealt to the Dodgers in a multi-team/mega-player deal last July.
In October, I relieved in Game 3 NLDS where I served up a 3R HR to Cespedes in the midst of a 2-inning/4-run performance in a game the Mets went on to win 13-7.
I'm kind of sucking so far this season too, 1-3, 5.18 in six starts.

[Lefty Specialist]

Hi, Mr. Wood. Bend over, please.

If I told him there was 40 million dollars in it for him, do you think I could convince C�spedes to sign up for some right field duty?

[Zvon]

Well, I wasn't gonna, but I just ran into this, so I must predict that deGrom goes yard tonight.
They just put the internet back together after Colon broke it. I hope it can stand the strain.

[soupcan]

Horrible uniforms. Whoever is responsible for those should have something they love thrown up on.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Didn't Raul Mondesi play for the Dodgers? His Royal prospect son just got the 50-day roid forced vacation.

[Edgy MD]

Mets come back from a 2-0 defect in the second and they're still out there.

[ashie62]

If Jacob doesn't find his zip the rotation might become,

1.Thor
2.Matz
3. Harvey
4. deGrom
5.Colon.

Unlikely but would not shock me.

I wonder if deGrom's lat is tight?

[Edgy MD]

Wood goes down looking with two in scoring position.

The only thing standing between deGrom and getting out of it is Buttley.

[Edgy MD]

Adrian ends an 0-33 stretch at home?

My stars and garters.

[Edgy MD]

GET THAT #31 OFF YOUR BACK, PETERSON!!

The rotation is simply a loop. Where it starts and ends is pretty much irrelevant.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Wood has a weird hitch in that motion, like he's arms-down shrugging while loading to throw.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Clock's really struck midnight for Hagar, eh?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Oh, Adrian. What the fudge did you think would happen there?

Anyway, kindly SIT THE FUCK DOWN.

[Frayed Knot]

Y'know, if the Dodgers can't decide on their replay choices in the (supposedly) required 10 seconds, just let them have another 45 or 50.
It's not like games already average 3 hours-plus or that it's midnight back here in the east with half the game still to go or anything.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Hey, man, it's California. CHILLAX

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

What up with the first base dirt?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

That seems like at least a mild sprain for Yo.

[Zvon]

I'm just sittin down and everyone is already asleep!

Is this from tonight's game? I saw the first inning and it was 2-2 Mets last I checked. Still is.



Mets have 2 on, 2 out, Cespedes...

OE: yep, Gary just gave details about the throw. Niiiice.

The first thing I thought was that's something that might not be a good factor if you want a long career. Can he sustain that?

[Zvon]

Ces grounds out. Gah.

PCs/mlbTV 3 minutes behind the radio.

I like how we all complain about the same things. Me w/the delays, FK w/the long games, etc.
We are a consistent bunch.

[Frayed Knot]

With the pitchers due to throw against us in the next two nights, we really don't want to let this one get away.

[Zvon]

I didn't want to see Bastardo tonight. I'm not really all that confident in him. And Seager just misses a homer...lead off double. yuh-oh.

[Zvon]

Ugh. Wow, lucky, nice-grounder to Wright and he gets the lead runner at third.

Hey, we may have to consider moving Wright to first (or second base) sooner than anticipated. His arm is just not cutting it. Damn, bummer.

[Zvon]

Bastardo, all smoke and mirrors and a big butt to boot. GOOD JOB ANTONIO!!!!

[Guest Mets Willets Point]

Bah!
