Dillon Gee will start for the Mets as they look for a series split against the Nationals today at Citi Field.

Here are some notes about the quality of their pitching through the first 25 games of the year:

  • Gee’s streak of 50 starts of five innings or more is the longest active streak in the majors.
  • Mets pitchers have gone at least five innings in their first 25 starts, the second longest streak in team history – they went 26 in 2014.
  • After 25 games, New York’s pitching staff has allowed 45 walks, the fewest in team history after 25 games. The second-fewest was by the 1977 Mets they issued 62 over the same span.
  • Mets starting pitchers have allowed one earned run over their last 14 innings. Mets starters have posted a 3.15 ERA this season, the third-lowest mark in the majors.
  • The Mets are eighth in the big leagues with a 2.95 bullpen ERA. The bullpen has walked 19 batters, the second-fewest in the league.
  • New York’s bullpen is tied for fourth in the majors with 19 holds.
