Tonight’s Mets Lineup vs. Diamondbacks

Posted on August 13, 2011 at 5:51 pm by Joe Janish

Here is the lineup the Mets will send to the plate against Diamondbacks pitcher Daniel Hudson:

Angel Pagan – CF
Willie Harris – 2B
David Wright – 3B
Lucas Duda – 1B
Jason Bay – LF
Ronny Paulino – C
Mike Baxter – RF
Ruben Tejada – SS
Mike Pelfrey – P

Queens native Mike Baxter makes another start in the outfield for the Mets.

Some other notes:

- The last time the Mets played the Diamondbacks was in April, in Flushing, and the Mets swept the Snakes in three straight.

- The Mets have lost three straight and are 3-9 over their last dozen games.

- The Mets are 33-28 on the road this year. They won only 32 games on the road during all of 2010.

- The Mets have won their last four straight road series. The last time they won five straight was 1999.

- David Wright is hitting .341 (28-82) with 5 doubles, 3 HR, and 18 RBI in the 20 games since returning from the DL.

- Jason Bay has reached base safely in his last 14 games and is batting .415 (22-53) with 11 runs scored, five doubles, three home
runs and 10 RBI since July 28. Too little, too late?

- Mike Pelfrey has a 3.62 ERA in his last 12 starts.

- Jason Isringhausen‘s next save will be #300. Two other relievers earned save #300 while wearing a Mets cap. Can you name them? Visit the MetsToday Facebook page to answer. Be sure to “like” the page while you’re there.
