Martinez, Mets aim to sweep Astros

Sep 9, 2007 - 1:27 PM Houston (62-80) at Ny Mets (80-61) 1:10 pm EDT

FLUSHING, New York (Ticker) - Pedro Martinez makes his first home start of the season Sunday as the New York Mets try to complete a three-game sweep of the Houston Astros.

After undergoing rotator cuff surgery on October 5, Martinez (1-0, 3.60 ERA) won in his return to the mound Monday at Cincinnati. The three-time Cy Young Award winner allowed three runs and five hits in five innings, striking out four and walking three.

Martinez again will be on a 75-pitch limit in this contest.

Tom Glavine took a no-hitter into the sixth inning on Saturday as the Mets posted a 3-1 win.

New York holds a comfortable six-game lead over Philadelphia (74-67) in the National League East. The Mets have won six of their last seven games.

The Astros counter with Roy Oswalt(14-6, 3.35), who is 6-0 with a 1.79 ERA over his last eight starts.

The three-time All-Star did not receive a decision, allowing five runs and 10 hits in 5 2/3 innings in a 9-7 win at Milwaukee last Monday. It was the Astros only win in its last seven games.

Oswalt has won his last three starts vs. New York, while Martinez is 1-0 in two starts vs. Houston.
