RandolphScott Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 The Mets (13-11) begin a rain-shorten two-game series versus the Pirates (10-15) this evening at Shea Stadium, game at 7:10 pm EST. The Lineup: * SS Jose Reyes * 2B Luis Castillo * 3B David Wright * CF Carlos Beltran * RF Ryan Church * 1B Carlos Delgado * C Raul Casanova * LF Endy Chavez * P Johan Santana The Pitchers: LHP Johan Santana (3-2, 3.12 ERA) starts for the Mets. Santana earned a win in in his last on April 23 versus the Nationals, pitching seven strong innings, allowing two runs on seven hits, while striking out four and walking one. Opposing batters are 27-for-129 (.209) versus Santana this season. In two career games, one starts versus the Pirates, Santana is 1-0 with a 1.13 ERA. RHP Ian Snell (2-1, 4.45 ERA) takes the hill for the Pirates.

The Pirates are 4-1 when Snell starts this season. Snell is 0-1 with a 6.11 ERA in four appearances, three starts in his career versus the Mets.

Allstarjim Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Lots of bad luck tonight. Who would've thought that the two guys that haven't allowed a run yet this year would allow the Pirates to tie this game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allstarjim Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Not a pretty win tonight, but the Mets found a win despite struggling, and I think that is a very important thing to do. Sosa had a pretty good inning tonight. Heilman another mini-implosion before Schoenweis came in and rescued him. I can't believe I just typed that. Talk about a role-reversal from last year. And I liked seeing Duaner in the 8th inning of a tight game tonight. He got himself into trouble, but limited the damage to 1 run. After the way he's been pitching, he was due for a bad outing. I'm glad it came on a night where the Mets were still able to win the game. The Mets have now won 3 in a row again. It's nice when they can put together these little streaks. Not nice when the streaks are going the other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
