Tonight’s Mets Lineup vs. Cardinals

Posted on July 19, 2011 by Joe Janish

Here is the lineup the Mets will send to bat against St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Kyle Lohse:

Jose Reyes – SS
Justin Turner – 2B
Carlos Beltran – RF
Dan Murphy – 3B
Angel Pagan – CF
Jason Bay – LF
Lucas Duda – 1B
Ronny Paulino – C
Dillon Gee – RHP

Hey, look who’s leading off! Also great to see Carlos Beltran back in the cleanup spot. In case you were wondering, in 46 career plate appearances against Lohse, Beltran is hitting .541 with 4 HR, 12 RBI, and a 1.590 OPS. Also of note – Paulino behind the plate against the righthander. Paulino is 3-for-7 (.429) lifetime against Lohse.
