Final
Diamondbacks go for ninth straight win against Mets
Jun 2, 2007 - 1:26 PM Arizona (33-23 at Ny Mets (34-19) 1:10 pm EDTFLUSHING, New York (Ticker) -- The Arizona Diamondbacks look for their longest winning streak in four years against a banged-up New York Mets squad.
Livan Hernandez (5-2, 3.58 ERA) takes the mound as the Diamondbacks go for their ninth straight win when they face the Mets in the second game of a three-game set on Saturday afternoon.
Reigning Cy Young Award winner Brandon Webb shut down a New York lineup missing four regulars to help Arizona to its eighth straight win on Thursday - its most since winning a franchise-best 12 from June 18-30 of 2003.
Arizona had lost 15 of the 17 meetings with New York before Chris Snyder hit a two-run homer and Stephen Drew hit a three-run shot in a 5-1 win.
Hernandez, who is coming off a complete game win over the Houston Astros on Sunday, is 2-0 with a 1.88 ERA in his last three starts. Hernandez allowed four runs - three earned and 11 hits in his last start. He beat the Mets by limiting them to one run and six hits in seven innings on May 6 and is 11-12 with an 4.58 ERA in 31 appearances against them.
New York, which will most likely be without Carlos Beltran (knee), is already without Shawn Green (foot) and Moises Alou (quad). To make matters worse, David Wright sat out Thursday's game with back spasms.
Jorge Sosa (4-1, 3.64) will be trying to get his third straight home win with a make-shift lineup behind him. In his last start Sosa allowed two runs and five hits in 5 2/3 innings to pick up the win against Florida on Sunday.
