The New York Mets will return to Citi Field tonight to face off against the San Francisco Giants. The Mets are coming off a 3-3 road trip in Philadelphia and Atlanta. Tonight they will have to get back to winning baseball after two straight losses in which Johan Santana and R.A. Dickey struggled to pitch.
Tonight the Mets will start Jon Niese and he is looking to continue his nice start this season. So far this season Niese is 2-0 with 2.13 ERA with 12 strikeouts. This game will be a nice test for Niese who will have to face a very strong Giants lineup. Tonight Niese will have to command all of his pitches and keep runners off base. The most important element for Niese is to keep the ball down in the zone and spot the ball in the corners. If Niese can do that, the Mets will be very happy with his effort.
Mets Lineup:
- Ruben Tejada SS
- Daniel Murphy 2B
- David Wright 3B
- Ike Davis 1B
- Jason Bay LF
- Scott Hairston RF
- Kirk Nieuwenhuis CF
- Mike Nickeas C
- Jon Niese P
