Mets 2 Brewers 1

This was an old-fashioned pitching duel, pitting two savvy starters who kept batters off-balance and pitched to contact. In the end, the Mets prevailed.

Here is the lineup the Mets will send to the plate against Brewers righthander Shaun Marcum:

Jose Reyes – SS
Justin Turner – 3B
Carlos Beltran – RF
Dan Murphy – 1B
Angel Pagan – CF
Jason Bay – LF
Josh Thole – C
Ruben Tejada – 2B
Chris Capuano – P

It’s no secret that Jason Bay is having a rough time as a New York Met. But there is one example from the recent past that could provide a glimmer of hope.
