Glasnow’s troublesome 2017 season continued on Sunday as he allowed five runs on eight hits over five innings in a loss to the Mets. Glasnow struck out three on the evening and didn’t walk a batter. He kept the Mets’ offense at bay through the first three innings, but they broke through for a pair in the fourth on a two-run double by Asdrubal Cabrera and tacked on three more the following frame. The rookie hurler now sports a cringe-inducing 6.95 ERA and 1.90 WHIP on the season. He’ll hope for better results in a rematch against the Mets in New York on Saturday. (Rotoworld)
Gsellman held the Brewers to two runs — one earned — over seven innings Monday in the Mets’ defeat of the Brewers. Gsellman yielded just three hits in the impressive outing, countering two walks with five strikeouts. He probably saved his rotation spot, at least for a little while. Gsellman stands 3-3 with a 5.75 ERA and 1.53 WHIP in nine starts and three relief appearances so far in 2017.
