NEW YORK METS

Starting Pitcher: R.A. Dickey (8-11, 3.47 ERA)

Dickey went seven shut out innings in his last start. That made for nine consecutive quality starts from the knuckleballer. Against the Nationals, Dickey is 2-3 with a 4.18 ERA.

WASHINGTON NATIONALS

Starting Pitcher: Ross Detwiler (2-5, 3.83 ERA)

Detwiler missed his last scheduled start because of a rain out, and will therefore be pitching on nine days rest. In his career, he is 1-1 with a 5.11 ERA.

METS LINEUP:

Reyes-SS, Turner-2B, Duda-RF, Wright-3B, Pagan-CF, Bay-LF, Evans-1B, Nickeas-C, Dickey-RHP

NOTE: 

Jason Bay, yes, the same Jason Bay that plays for the Mets, has been named the National League Player of the Week. Last week, Bay had a .481 batting average, and was tied in the Major League in hits (13), total bases (24), and doubles (five). He drove in a National League leading 10 runs.
