The New York Mets look to sweep the Miami Marlins early Thursday night. His control was erratic and his body language showed the signs of a frustrated pitcher who can’t locate the stuff which brought him to the big show in the first place. I’m falling off so hard to the first base side, if you look back at film from previous year I feel like I could throw the ball and nearly stand there on my land leg. “I just wanted to talk to Ray”, he said.

DeGrom (7-8) got seven days between starts because the Mets anxious he was tired, but he still struggled.
DeGrom was skipped the last time through the rotation after two poor starts in which he was ripped for a total of 13 runs and 25 hits in 9 2/3 innings. Xavier Scruggs had an RBI double for the Marlins while Francoeur and Jeff Mathis had two hits apiece.Right-hander Jose Urena (3-5) earned the win after allowing one run on four hits and two walks while striking out two over six innings.
“It’s quite obvious when you walk four guys”. I got to figure that out.
“You just hope to have a situation where you can get your bat on the ball and the ball falls in”.
But Collins could tell something was off. When you start to get the pieces back, all of a sudden the attitude is, ‘We’re starting to get our guys back again. That’s just not Jake.
That fracture will be a pain-managment issue the rest of the reason, Ramos said then.
Christian Yelich homered for the 17th time this season as part of a two-hit day.
In the first eight innings, the lone bits of Mets offense came from an unlikely source-Jay Bruce hit a solo home run in the bottom of the sixth inning and knocked in a run with a single in the eighth. He also made a dashing, diving catch in center field with the bases loaded and two outs – that made up for him later dropping a routine fly for an error.
Jose Urena (W, 3-5) allowed one run in six innings to pick up the win for the Marlins.
Cabrera belted a two-run. pinch-hit homer in the ninth, the first pinch-hit blast of his career. But September call-up Michael Conforto grounded into a double play and pinch-hitter Yoenis Cespedes struck out. He thinks his mechanics, which he has been fighting to some degree all season, are out of whack, and the Mets’ tracking equipment confirmed that his release point was different in those previous two starts. DeGrom hit a liner up the middle that Yelich, playing shallow for the pitch, rushed in to grab off the grass. The Marlins have scored seven runs in their last three games and three or less runs in nine of their last 12 games.
Obtained in a trade on Wednesday from the Angels, Fernando Salas made his Mets debut and allowed one hit and no runs after taking over for Smoker in the seventh.
Ramos’ ERA is 3.40, up from 2.25 at the All-Star break.
Urena looks to rebound from a tough loss on Saturday when he gave up only one run vs the Padres.
“This year, Walker has been a big part of this team, it’s a shame”, infielder Wilmer Flores said.

Like injuries. With second baseman Neil Walker opting for season-ending back surgery, Johnson and Flores are possible replacements.
