Mets Open Series Against First Place Brewers

August 19, 2011

7:10 PM ET

Citi Field, New York

TV: WPIX

RADIO: WFAN 660

NEW YORK METS

Starting Pitcher: Mike Pelfrey (6-9, 4.58 ERA)

Pelfrey should expect some boos in his first start at home since his controversial comments. In his last start, he took a loss against Arizona, giving up two runs in four innings before exiting after being hit on the elbow with a line drive.  Pelfrey lost his last start against Milwaukee, on June 9, despite giving up only two runs and four hits in six innings.

MILWAUKEE BREWERS

Starting Pitcher: Shaun Marcum (10-3, 3.50 ERA)

In his last start, Marcum allowed just one run in 7.2 innings and struck out five Pittsburgh Pirates, but took a no decision. Marcum stifled the Mets back in June, giving up two hits and no runs in six innings, but earned a no decision in an eventual Mets win.

Mets Lineup:

Pagan-CF, Harris-2B, Wright-3B, Duda-1B, Baxter-RF, Pridie-LF, Thole-C, Tejada-SS, Pelfrey-RHP

UPDATE: The game is in rain delay
