The Game:

The Mets (30-29) continue their three-games series versus the Padres (25-37) tonight at Petco Park in San Diego, starting at 10:05 pm EST.

The Lineup:

According to John Delcos of the Journal News, Ryan Church is not in tonight’s lineup as Willie Randolph stated Church needs to ‘build up his stamina and leg endurance,’ and not due to side effect from his recent concussion.

The Pitchers:

LHP Johan Santana (7-3, 3.20 ERA) starts for the Mets. Santana was stellar in his last start on June 1 versus the Dodgers allowing one run on six hits over 7.2 IP while walking three and striking out six. The Mets are 8-1 in Santana’s last nine starts. He 1-1 with a 3.55 ERA in two career starts versus the Padres.

LHP Randy Wolf (3-4, 4.33 ERA) takes the hill for the Padres. In his last start on June 1 versus the Giants, Wolf earned a no-decision allowing one run on four hits and a walk while striking out five over 6.0 IP. Wolf is 9-5 with a 3.44 ERA in 25 career starts versus the Mets.
