The Mets continue their 4 games series with the Houston Astros tonight at Minute Maid Park. The starting pitchers for tonight's match-up will be LHP Johan Santana for the Mets VS RHP Nelson Figueroa of the Astros. Santana has been phenomenal his last 2 starts by going 2-0, with 16 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings. This will be Nelson Figueroa's first start against his former team. He appeared against the Mets earlier this year with the Phillies out of the bullpen. I am sure he will be raring to go and show his old club that it was a mistake to release him. Game time is 8:05PM. Here are the starting lineups:

For the 51-66 Houston Astros:

1. Michael Bourn CF
2. Angel Sanchez SS
3. Hunter Pence RF
4. Carlos Lee LF
5. Chris Johnson 3B
6. Brett Wallace 1B
7. Geoff Blum 2B
8. Jason Castro C
9. Nelson Figueroa P

For the 59-59 New York Mets:

1. Jose Reyes SS
2. Fernando Martinez LF
3. David Wright 3B
4. Carlos Beltran CF
5. Ike Davis 1B
6. Jeff Francoeur RF
7. Josh Thole C
8. Ruben Tejada 2B
9. Johan Santana P

LETS GO METS!
