After yesterday tough loss against the Marlins, the Mets go into Cincinnati for a four game series. R.A Dickey takes the hill for the amazings, who look to get back on track in the wild card hunt. Mets and Reds come into today both 50-51 on the season and 8.5 games back of the Braves in the wild card. Reds won in dramatic fashion last night as Drew Stubbs took the 1st pitch from Scott Linebrink and deposited it over the LF wall in a walk-off win. Reds currently sit in 4th place in there division.

“It has taken a little while to get up to speed, and I don’t have my legs back quite yet,” Wright said. “But that will come from playing more.” Visiting Cincinnati for Wright should definitely help him. Wright loves playing at Great American Ball Park the most. The 5-time All-Star has 6 HRs and is hitting .343 in Cincinnati for his highest totals in both categories when visiting a Central Division opponent.
