RHP Maine aims to stay unbeaten vs. Cubs

May 15, 2007 - 2:36 PM Chicago Cubs (17-19) at NY Mets (24-13) 7:10 pm EDT

FLUSHING, New York (Ticker) -- John Maine has a chance to become the first New York Mets' pitcher in 10 years to start a season with a 6-0 record.

Maine (5-0, 1.79 ERA) faces Carlos Zambrano and the Chicago Cubs in the second game of a four-game series.

The 6-4 righthander is aiming to become the first Mets pitcher to start 6-0 since Armando Reynoso, and inch closer to Dwight Gooden's club record of eight straight wins to start the season in 1988.

In his last start, Maine walked a career-high six but limited the damage and allowed three runs in six innings in a no-decision.

While Maine is pitching well, Zambrano (3-3, 5.83) is struggling in a free agent year, having allowed eight runs and 13 hits in his last 12 innings.

The Mets won the opener, 5-4, Monday night when Carlos Delgado drew a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the ninth inning.

David Wright homered in the win. He is hitting .375 (9-for-24) in his last six games with two homers and three doubles.
