Pregame: Mets vs. Yankees Game 2

The Mets and Yankees will wrap up their two-game series tonight at Yankee Stadium.  Oliver Perez (3-3, 4.61 ERA) will take on Yankees ace Chien-Ming Wang (6-1, 2.90 ERA).  First pitch is scheduled for 8:05.

Perez has been very successful in interleague play against the Yankees in the past holding a 3-1 record with a 3.04 ERA.  Last season, two of his best pitched games came against the Yanks, as he went 2-0 in those games only allowing 2 earned runs in 15 innings pitched.

The Mets hope to build off of yesterday's game.  A win would provide the Mets with their first sweep at Yankee Stadium, even if its only a two-game mini-series.  It would also only be the second time the Mets have two victories at Yankee Stadium in a season.

Marlon Anderson will get the start tonight in left field, as he will bat second.  This moves Moises Alou to the DH spot.  Anderson is 6-for-16 in the month of May, while Alou is batting .342 in 38 at-bats since returning from the DL.

Tonight's game can be watched on ESPN, and if you don't want to deal with the play-by-play from Jon Miller and Joe Morgan, then tune in to WFAN 660.

LET'S GO METS!
