Resurgent Beltran leads Mets vs. Nationals

May 12, 2008 - 1:19 PM Washington (15-23) at NY Mets (19-16) 7:10 pm EDT

FLUSHING, New York (Ticker) - Carlos Beltran looks to continue breaking out of his slump on Monday as the New York Mets open a three-game series with the Washington Nationals.

A four-time All-Star, Beltran went 5-for-11 with a home run and eight RBI in helping the Mets take two of three games from the Cincinnati Reds over the weekend.

Beltran had an RBI double and a two-run homer in a 8-3 victory over the Reds on Sunday. Prior to that series, Beltran had been hitting a paltry .181 (17-for-94) in his last 28 games and had not homered since April 24.

Beltran will try and help the Mets beat the Nationals for the fifth time in six meetings this season.

Washington, which has lost five of six, will hand the ball to Odalis Perez. Perez (0-3, 3.43 ERA) is seeking his first decision in five starts. The lefthander yielded three runs and five hits in five innings of a 4-3 loss to Houston on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Nelson Figueroa (2-2, 4.81) will make his seventh start in place of the injured Pedro Martinez. Figueroa allowed five runs and eight hits in five innings of a 5-4 loss to Los Angeles on Tuesday.
