Philadelphia (11-15) at NY Mets (13-13), 7:10 pm EDT
FLUSHING, New York (Ticker) -- Tom Glavine aims to bounce back
from his worst start of the season when the New York Mets host
the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday.
Glavine (1-3, 5.67 ERA) allowed seven runs and 12 hits in just 4
1/3 innings in an 8-4 loss to Atlanta last Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Brett Myers (1-1, 1.35) looks to continue his
excellent start for Philadelphia. The 24-year-old righthander
has not allowed an earned run in three of his five starts and
has 34 strikeouts against nine walks.
Carlos Beltran's three-run homer off Terry Adams in the seventh
inning powered the Mets to a 5-1 win over the Phillies in the
series opener on Monday.
Beltran, who was signed to a seven-year, $119 million contract
in the offseason, delivered a two-run double in the ninth inning
of the Mets' 6-3 win at Washington on Sunday night.
The Phillies, who have lost nine of their last 13 games, have
played the last two contests without slugger Jim Thome, who is
suffering from back spasms. But Tomas Perez has filled in and
produced four hits and four RBI in the two games.
