Delgado, Mets look to stay hot
Sep 10, 2008 - 10:10 AM Washington (56-89) at NY Mets (81-63) 7:10 p.m. EDTFLUSHING, New York (Ticker) -- Carlos Delgado is giving the New York Mets a firm grip in the National League East.
Delgado and the Mets go for their third straight win on Wednesday against the Washington Nationals.
The 36-year-old Delgado has clubbed four home runs in the Mets' last two games and has driven in 53 runs over his last 49 games.
The first baseman went 3-for-3 with two home runs, three RBI and three runs scored during Tuesday's 10-8 victory in the series opener. The win moved the Mets 2 1/2 games in front of the Philadelphia Phillies (79-66).
"Being in a pennant race and having that type of streak is a tremendous achievement," New York manager Jerry Manuel said of Delgado. "He said, 'I'm putting you on my shoulders,' and that's what he's doing."
Delgado looks to continue his surge against Nationals rookie starter Shairon Martis (0-1, 3.60 ERA).
Martis made his major league debut on Thursday, allowing two runs and four hits in five innings. The 21-year-old righthander walked five and struck out two, suffering a hard-luck loss as Washington dropped a 2-0 decision to the Atlanta Braves.
After having a three-game personal win streak snapped during his last start, Mike Pelfrey (13-9, 3.62) tries to get back on track for the Mets.
