Mets vs. Reds Preview...


Yes, the All-Star break is over!!!


The Mets and the Reds start a 4 game series tonight in Cincinnati.
New York won two of three, when the clubs met in May.


Johan Santana, who starts tonight, defeated the Reds on May 10th, after allowing three runs on 10 hits, over six innings. He is 1-3 in his last 5 starts. On the season, he is 8-7 with a 2.84 ERA

The Reds are 26-19 at home this year.


Johnny Cueto is the starter, for the Reds tonight. He is just 2-4, over his last six starts.

The rookie is an unimpressive 7-9, with a 4.67 ERA this year, and lost to the Mets, when he faced them, for the first time, on May 11th. The Mets scored six runs, on eight hits, over 4 2/3 innings.

The Mets have scored 54 runs, over the current winning streak, of 9 games. Let’s hope they score runs for Mr. Johan. Love to see them pick up, where they left off, and make the number a nice round 10, in a row.
