June 10 Doubleheader


The Mets look to get Johan Santana his first win in three weeks today against the San Diego Padres. Last start, Johan allowed 5 walks and 3 hits to the Friars but still managed to turn in 7 scoreless innings.

The Mets, at 31-27, will also be gunning for their 10th straight win at Citi Field.

The first game today is at 1:10, the second 7:10. It will be Santana vs. Latos and Niese vs. Garland.

Game 1′s lineup:

1. Jose Reyes SS
2. Angel Pagan CF
3. Jason Bay LF
4. Ike Davis 1B
5. David Wright 3B
6. Jeff Francoeur RF
7. Henry Blanco C
8. Alex Cora 2B
9. Johan Santana LHP

It’s kind of like they are trying not to get Johan Santana run support, with 3 below-average players rounding out the bottom of the lineup. (Yes, I still don’t buy Francoeur).
