NEW YORK METS

Starting Pitcher: R.A. Dickey (8-13, 3.35 ERA)

Dickey went 7.2 innings against the Braves in his last start, but once again, was handed a loss due to his team's lack of run support. Hopefully tonight is the night his luck changes. Against the Phillies he is 2-3 with a 2.90 ERA.

PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES

Starting Pitcher: Cole Hamels (14-9, 2.80 ERA)

Hamels goes for his 15th win of the season tonight. If he is successful, he will tie a career-high. Luckily for the Mets, he hasn't been very good when facing New York. Against the Mets, he is 3-10 with a 4.69 ERA.

METS LINEUP:

Reyes-SS, Tejada-2B, Wright-3B, Bay-LF, Evans-1B, Harris-RF, Nickeas-C, Pridie-CF, Dickey-RHP

NOTES:

Lucas Duda and Angel Pagan are both sitting out of tonight's game with a headache. Duda crashed into a wall the other night trying to run down David Freese's triple at Busch Stadium. Pagan just hit himself in the head with his back swing. Not even kidding.
