The Mets will look to even their series tonight against the Diamondbacks at Citi Field. Game time is 7:10 pm.

The lineup is as follows:

1. Jose Reyes SS
2. Angel Pagan RF
3. David Wright 3B
4. Carlos Beltran CF
5. Ike Davis 1B
6. Chris Carter LF
7. Josh Thole C
8. Luis Castillo 2B

Hisanori Takahashi (7-5, 4.47 ERA) will start for the Mets. Takahashi pitched in relief earlier this week against the Cardinals, and is making just his second start since the All-Star Break. having just one win since his June 18 masterpiece against the Yankees. His last start came last weekend against the Dodgers when he allowed one run in seven innings but took the loss in a 2-0 shutout.

Barry Enright (2-2, 2.73 ERA) will start for the Diamondbacks. Enright has proven to be a solid addition to the Diamondbacks rotation since joining a month ago, as he hasn’t given up more than three earned runs in any of his five starts. He earned the win against the Mets last week in Phoenix when he hurled eight innings and allowed just one run.
