Johan Santana not stellar at Fenway

The Mets have ace Johan Santana and his 5-2 record going tonight against the Red Sox. He is 4-4 lifetime against the Red Sox and has a less then stellar record at Fenway where he is only 1-3.

The Mets need everything he has to break the Mets 4 game losing streak against a team that just swept the Blue Jays.

Only Jason Varitek has a good batting average against him. In 18 at bats he his hitting .444 . Pedrioa and Jason Bay are hitting .400 but in 5 at bats.

The Mets have to get some timely hitting and near perfect fielding to have any shot against the Red Sox who are 16-4 at Fenway. I doubt Reyes will be in the lineup but look for Gary Sheffield to make his return after being ill the last couple of games with food poisoning . Sheff has 6 hits in 11 at bats against Dice K
