Who is starting for the Mets?
RHP Zack Wheeler (4.36 ERA/1.27 WHIP) who wants to forget about his last outing against the Braves. He allowed 12 hits, leading to five runs over five innings.
The Mets are hoping that dud was just a blip from Wheeler, who didn't allow a run in his previous two starts.
Who is starting for the Royals?
RHP Glenn Sparkman (5.45 ERA/1.44 WHIP) who took a loss despite a solid outing against the Cardinals in his last start. Sparkman allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits over six innings of work.
