Santana aims to slow Reds in opener of twin bill

May 10, 2008 - 11:57 AM Cincinnati (14-21) at NY Mets (17-15) 1:10 pm EDT

FLUSHING, New York (Ticker) - Johan Santana is hoping the rain cooled off rookie Joey Votto and the red-hot Cincinnati Reds.

Santana takes the mound as the Mets host the Reds on Saturday in the first game of a day-night doubleheader.

Friday's series opener was postponed due to heavy rain. The Mets hope the extra day of rest will slow Votto, who blasted three of the Reds' seven home runs in a 9-0 victory over Chicago on Wednesday.

The 24-year-old first baseman will face a stern test against Santana (3-2, 2.91 ERA), who has allowed eight earned runs in his last 25 2/3 innings. The two-time Cy Young Award winner is seeking his win at home.

Santana may face a Reds' lineup missing two key cogs, as both Ken Griffey Jr. and Brandon Phillips were scratched from Friday's lineup prior to the postponement.

Phillips is suffering from a calf injury, while Griffey is dealing with an illness.

Matt Belisle (1-2, 6.91) gets the ball for Cincinnati. Belisle, who was scheduled to start Friday, allowed two runs and eight hits in 5 1/3 innings of a 9-1 loss to Atlanta on May 2.
