Mets go for fifth straight win

Apr 7, 2007 - 4:11 PM NY Mets (4-0) at Atlanta (3-1) 3:55 pm EDT

ATLANTA (Ticker) -- Tom Glavine faces an old friend when the New York Mets aim for their best start in over two decades against an old nemesis.

Glavine faces off with former teammate John Smoltz on Saturday when the Mets visit the Atlanta Braves.

New York has been winning in impressive fashion, taking three straight from the World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals before posting an 11-1 victory over the Braves. The Mets are off to their best start since 1985, when they got off to a franchise-best 5-0 start.

Glavine (1-0, 1.50 ERA) got the win on Opening Day, allowing one run and six hits in six innings. The 41-year-old lefthander now has 291 career wins but owns just a 3-9 mark and a 5.68 ERA in 15 starts against Atlanta, the team for which he won two Cy Young Awards.

The 39-year-old Smoltz (0-0, 4.50) allowed three runs and eight hits in six innings in his first outing of the season. He owns a career 15-13 record with a 3.41 ERA in 62 games - 34 starts - against the Mets.

Mets All-Star shortstop Jose Reyes had three hits, including two triples, and four RBI Friday night.
