Mets vs. Braves, 7:00 pm (SNY, 660 WFAN)

The Atlanta Braves take on the New York Mets in a short two game series. For the Braves, RHP Javier Vazquez (2-2, 3.38) takes the hill as he is opposed by RHP John Maine (1-2, 5.40) who makes his 5th start of the season for the Mets.

The hitter in the Braves lineup that Maine must be careful with, is Chipper Jones, who has a .556 batting average with 1 homerun in 9 at bats against Maine. Look for Luis Castillo to be on base tonight, as he has owns .358 batting average in 67 at bats against Vazquez.

 

Mets Lineup:  

Reyes, ss
Murphy, lf
Beltran, cf
Delgado, 1b
Wright, 3b
Church, rf
Castro, c
Castillo, 2b
Maine, rhp



I am glad to see Carlos Delgado back in the lineup after missing the last 4 games with a hip injury. Delgado has said that his hip injury is something that he will have to monitor throughout the season which isn't a good sign. It is also nice to see Jerry reward Castro with another start after hitting the game tying homerun in Philly on Saturday.

 

Tune into SNY as Chris Carlin and Bobby Ojeda get you ready for the action starting at 6:30 with Mets pre-game live.

It's also encouraging to see Castillo back in the lineup. I'm still uncomfortable with him batting 8th, but it's better than nothing.
