Pepsi Refresh Pre-Game: Mets vs. Marlins

by Michael Baron on August 26th, 2009 at 4:09 pm

The Mets continue their three game series tonight against the Marlins at Land Shark Stadium in Miami.

Angel Pagan will leadoff, followed in order by Luis Castillo, Daniel Murphy, Jeff Francoeur, Cory Sullivan, Fernando Tatis, Brian Schneider, and Anderson Hernandez.

Mike Pelfrey (9-8, 4.67 ERA) will start for the Mets. Pelfrey has put together two consecutive positive outings, with his last outing being the most promising in a win against Philadelphia. Pelfrey has faced the Marlins once this year, and despite pitching real well into the eighth inning on May 29 allowing just a run on five hits, took a no decision in a 2-1 Mets win.

Josh Johnson (12-3, 2.99 ERA) will start for the Marlins. Johnson has had a stellar season and is a big reason why the Marlins are in position for a playoff run. He did struggle in his last outing against the Astros, allowing four runs and taking the loss and he was unable to make it out of the fifth inning. Johnson has dominated the Mets in three starts this season, going 2-0 and pitching to a 2.45 ERA.
