Mike Pelfrey (1-7 5.43) will be taking the mound as he tries to get his 2nd victory of the season. Last Saturday was probably the best pitching performance by Pelfrey giving up 1 run in 6 innings. The Astros will send the south paw Wandy Rodriguez (8-12 4.49) Back in July Wandy had a complete game shutout while striking out 8 against the Mets. In that very same game Pelfrey was cruising until the 5th inning when he walked Ausmus, gave up a rbi dounle to Hunter Pence which was then followed up by a 2 run homer by Lance Berkman.
C'mon Mike show everyone that last weeks performance wasn't a fluke.
The Mets lineup is as follows:
1) SS Jose Reyes
2) 2B Luis Castillo
3) 3B David Wright
4) CF Carlos Beltran
5) LF Moises Alou
6) 1B Jeff Conine
7) C Paul Lo Duca
8) RF Lastings Milledge
9) P Mike Pelfrey
Due to the lefty on the mound Jeff Conine will get the start and Shawn Green will probably be starting tomorrow at 1st base with a righty on the mound. David Wright only gets 1 day off after Willie decided to rest Reyes for 2 days. Yes I know the one was an off day but with the Phillies 5 games back I would like to see David have 2 days off. Anyways LETS GO METS!!
