What a difference a month makes.
In July, the Mets were 14-9 with a 3.40 ERA, as they finally got the five starters they envisioned going to battle with this year in the rotation at the same time. But they traded two of their top three starters, along with their top reliever at the end of the month and results in August weren’t quite so rosy. The Mets went 11-18 with a 4.98 ERA in the eighth month of the calendar year.
And the pitching staff’s ERA in August was that poor despite some really good outings from the starters. Jose Quintana gave 6 IP with 1 ER on 8/12 and 6 IP with 0 ER on 8/29. Kodai Senga gave 7 IP with 1 ER on 8/19 and 6.2 IP with 2 ER on 8/25. Joey Lucchesi hurled 5.2 scoreless innings on 8/18, David Peterson put up 7 IP with 1 ER on 8/27 and Tylor Megill posted 6 IP with 1 ER on 8/28.
