The New York Mets will play the Pittsburgh Pirates tonight at Citi Field. This will be the second game of this four game series against the Pirates. The Mets won yesterday behind an excellent pitching performance from Dillon Gee. He was outstanding for the Mets and yesterday he picked up his 5th win of the season. He became the second rookie to get a 5-0 record.
Jose Reyes was also placed on the bereavement list after the death of his grandmother. In his place the Mets activated Bobby Parnell from the disabled list.
R.A. Dickey will start tonight for the Mets after injuring himself in his last start. Dickey will try to keep the team on the right track following big offensive games. Dickey is starting to find himself after his brilliant start against the Yankees. With a record of 1 and 5 Dickey will try to capture his second win of the season.
The Pirates will bring James McDonald to the mound who has a high ERA that sits at 5.23. But in his last two starts he has only given up three combined runs with a 1-0 record.
