Wright breaking out of slump

Apr 30, 2008 - 12:10 PM Pittsburgh (10-16) at NY Mets (14-11) 1:10 pm EDT

FLUSHING, New York (Ticker) - David Wright appears to be getting his swing back.

After a thrilling win, Wright and the New York Mets go for their fourth consecutive victory when they conclude a rain-shortened three-game series with the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday.

Wright, who was batting .359 with 19 RBI through his first 17 games this season, snapped a 3-for-29 slump with an RBI single in the 11th inning to lift New York to a 5-4 victory over the Pirates on Tuesday.

With the game-winning hit, over a drawn-in outfield, the 25-year-old third baseman is now hitting .287 with four home runs and 23 RBI this season.

Mets lefthander Oliver Perez (2-1. 3.62 ERA) looks to bounce back from a rough outing when he takes the mound against his former team on Wednesday.

Perez, acquired from Pittsburgh for right fielder Xavier Nady during the 2006 season, allowed five runs, six hits and four walks, in suffering his first loss of the season during Thursday's 10-5 setback to the Washington Nationals.

Tom Gorzelanny (1-3, 8.46) counters for the Pirates. The 25-year-old lefthander gave up three runs, two hits and walked a career-high seven in five innings as he endured a 6-2 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday.
