Mets look to bounce back, continue push to playoffs
Sep 21, 2008 - 7:14 AM NY Mets (86-68) at Atlanta (68-87), 1:35 p.m. EDTATLANTA (Ticker) -- The New York Mets may have lost their division lead on Saturday but, thanks to the Milwaukee Brewers, the team is still in a good position to make the playoffs.
The Mets look to continue their postseason push on Sunday when they take on the Atlanta Braves.
New York trails the Philadelphia Phillies (87-68) by one-half game in the National League East, but currently owns a 2 1/2-game lead over Milwaukee (84-71) in the wild-card chase.
Mike Pelfrey (13-10, 3.67 ERA) will take the hill for New York.
The righthander is winless in his last four starts and dropped a tough decision on Tuesday, giving up one run over seven innings in a 1-0 defeat to Washington.
Atlanta, which snapped a four-game losing streak with Saturday's 4-2 win, will counter with rookie James Parr (1-0, 2.20).
The 22-year-old righthander was roughed up in his last outing on Tuesday, allowing the first four runs of his career over 4 1/3 innings.
The Braves are 7-1 against the Mets at home this season.
