Games of the Day

The Mets and Yankees finish up the Yankee Stadium portion of their home and home four-game series with Jacob deGrom facing Sonny Gray. deGrom pitched 3 1/3 innings more than last season with 36 more strikeouts. Gray lost his first two starts for the Yankees, despite a 3.00 ERA. He has not allowed a home run in 12 innings, but he has walked seven.

The Angels moved into the second wild card slot in the AL as they travel to Washington. Tyler Skaggs tries to extend the Angels win streak to seven against Gio Gonzalez and the banged up Nationals. Skaggs makes his eighth start of the season. It’s also his fifth on the road where his ERA stands at 2.28. He allowed just one home run in 23 2/3 road innings. Gonzalez’s 2.59 ERA represents his best single season mark. He is throwing fewer sinkers this season, and more change-ups and curve balls.

Madison Bumgarner tries to stop the Red hot Giancarlo Stanton as the Giants play the Marlins. Stanton hit Bumgarner well in his career, 8 for 16 with five doubles and a home run.
