Silva, Twins look to prolong Mets slump

Jun 18, 2007 - 1:29 PM Minnesota (34-33) at NY Mets (37-30) 7:10 pm EDT

FLUSHING, New York (Ticker) - The struggling New York Mets look to get back on track Monday when they face the Minnesota Twins in the opener of a three-game series.

Despite losing five straight series and 11 of their last 13 games, the Mets still hold a 1 1/2-game lead in the National League East.

The Twins are heading in the opposite direction, having won five of their last seven games.

Carlos Silva (4-7, 4.07 ERA) would not mind a repeat of his last outing on Wednesday, as he tossed an eight-hitter in a 6-0 victory over Atlanta. In shutting down the Braves, Silva became the first Minnesota pitcher since Johan Santana to throw a complete game shutout.

Silva has no record and a 10.22 ERA in 15 relief appearances lifetime against the Mets.

The Mets counter with John Maine (6-4, 3.05), who has struggled to a 1-4 record with a 4.72 ERA in his last six outings.

Maine lost his only previous start against the Twins.
