Jeff Francoeur will bat fifth tonight and start in right field.
Angel Pagan will again bat leadoff, and be followed in order by Luis Castillo, David Wright, Gary Sheffield in left field, Francoeur, Daniel Murphy at first base, Omir Santos behind the plate, and Alex Cora.
Johan Santana (9–7, 3.29 ERA) will be tonight’s starting pitcher. The Mets are 2–5 in his last seven starts. Santana pitched 5.2 innings against the Reds on Opening Day, and allowed one run and three hits while striking out seven.
The Reds will start Johnny Cueto (8–5, 3.45 ERA). David Wright has just one hit in five at bats against Cueto. Cueto pitched twice against the Mets last season, and allowed 12 runs and 14 hits.
Matt, you left off Cora playing short batting eighth.
Who will bat 8th and play SS? I assume Cora…but could it be the munificent world beater himseld…???? Angel Berroa! Yikes…it’s come to this…?
This lineup looks a little better than before. I guess a righty after Sheffield helps a little.
hey what’s going on, I just logged in from an evening out w/ the family, and is there a misprint?
The Mets are winning 4-0 in the 5th?
Did frenchy hit a Grand Slam or something?
nope but he did have a bases loaded two run bloop single
harbinger of things to come?
Solid game (what I saw of it).
