Today at 4:10 pm, the Mets will face off in game 2 of this 3 game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Mets fell to the dbacks last night by a score of 5-4 after an 8th inning bullpen blowup allowing 3 runs in the 8th.
Johan Santana (0-2, 2.25 ERA) will match up against Partick Corbin (1-0, 4.76 ERA). Corbin is a rookie who was called up from Double-A Mobile to replace Josh Collmenter in the rotation. He is making his 2nd start of his young career. He will face a veteran in Johan Santana, who finally got some run support in his last start, but still got a no decision in Colorado.
Johan has fared extremely well against Arizona in his career, in 29 innings pitched against the dbacks, Santana is 1-0 with a 0.62 ERA and 32 K’s
