Padres right-hander Joe Musgrove has allowed one run in his last 22 innings; Chris Bassitt gets nod for New York
Likewise, the Padres will not be surprised to see Edwin Diaz at some point Sunday, even after he threw 28 pitches over 1 2/3 innings Saturday night.First pitch is 4:07 p.m. , and unlike the Mets, the Padres have had their Game 3 starter lined up from the start of the series.
Musgrove , who has allowed only one run over his last 22 innings, discussed the prospect of starting the elimination game Saturday. His only postseason experience is out of the bullpen as a second-year pitcher with the Astros in 2017, when he allowed six runs in 6 2/3 innings. Musgrove allowed four runs on five hits and two walks in 5 1/3 innings in his only start this year against the Mets.The lineup behind Musgrove is a return to what they used in Game 1, with Wil Myers back at first base over Brandon Drury. Myers was 0-for-4 with three strikeouts Friday but was rolling in the last month of the season , while Drury was 2-for-13 to end the regular season and 0-for-4 with a strikeout on Saturday.
The 33-year-old allowed seven runs in 3 1/3 innings in a start against the Padres in San Diego in June and then two runs while striking out a season-high 11 over seven innings in July at Citi Field. Bassitt allowed four runs in 11 innings for Melvin’s A’s in the 2020 postseason.Here is the Mets’ lineup for Game 3 and how they’ve fared through the first two games of the series:LF Mark Canha
