Mets turn Maine to end four-game skid

Sep 18, 2007 - 1:47 PM NY Mets (83-66) at Washington (67-83) 7:05 pm EDT

WASHINGTON (Ticker) -- The New York Mets may be fumbling away the National League East Division.

New York looks to maintain its slim lead Tuesday when it continues a three-game series with the Washington Nationals.

The Mets, who have dropped four straight games and committed a franchise-record 10 errors over their past two contests, lead the Philadelphia Phillies (81-69) by just 2 1/2 games.

On Monday, New York committed four errors and squandered a four-run lead en route to a 12-4 loss. On Sunday, the Mets committed six errors in a 10-6 loss to Philadelphia.

John Maine (14-9, 3.72 ERA) has been one of New York's best pitchers all season. The righthander is tied for second in the NL with nine road wins and has thrown 11 2/3 scoreless innings vs. Washington.

Washington counters with Joel Hanrahan (4-3, 5.83), who has failed to make it out of the third inning in each of his past two starts. On Wednesday, the righthander allowed three runs in 3 1/3 innings but did not receive a decision in a 5-4 loss to Florida on Wednesday.
