The Mets and Padres play game two tonight as the Mets look to bring themselves back on the right track. Last night's game showed the resilient nature of this season. The Mets started off the game with the injuries of Reyes and Murphy hanging over them. They jumped out to a 1-0 lead, then a 1-1 tie before getting a substantial 4-1 lead. The lead was then turned to a 4-4 tie and then an 8-4 trailing. In the bottom of the 8th the Mets would score 2 followed by 3 in the ninth to the win game 9-8. Tonight the Mets try to repeat with Capuano getting the start against LeBlanc.
Capuano is 9-10 on the season with a 4.44 ERA. His last start was first good one in a while as he allowed 2 ER in 6 innings of work. The last time he faced the Padres was back in 2010 where he pitched 3.2 scoreless innings against them. The Padres have the following numbers on Chris:
