Snell to start for struggling Pirates

Jul 24, 2007 - 3:46 PM Pittsburgh (41-56) at Ny Mets (55-43) 7:10 pm EDT

FLUSHING, New York (Ticker) - Ian Snell takes the mound as the Pittsburgh Pirates look to turn around their post-All-Star break woes when they face the New York Mets in the opener of a three-game series Tuesday.

The Pirates have posted just a 1-8 record since the Midsummer Classic, getting outscored, 48-27, in that span.

The 25-year-old Snell (7-7, 3.31 ERA) pitched six innings, yielding five runs and five hits with six strikeouts in a 5-3 loss to the Colorado Rockies last Wednesday.

He will be opposed by righthander John Maine (10-5, 3.07), who is looking to help the Mets pick up their fourth win in their last five contests.

Maine gave up four runs and seven hits with five strikeouts over six innings in a 5-4 loss to the San Diego Padres on Wednesday.

Unlike Pittsburgh, New York has thrived since the All-Star break, posting a 7-4 record.
