Game Preview: Mets At Reds [Game 2] April 8, 2009

Cincinnati RedsNew York Mets (1-0 Road: 1-0) vs. Cincinnati Reds (0-1 Home: 0-1) 7:10 pm

Mike Pelfrey (0-0 0.00) vs. Edinson Volquez (0-0 0.00)

TV: SNY RadioWFAN

What to watch: The Mets face stiff competition in Volquez, who came over from the Texas Rangers last season in the Josh Hamilton trade and quickly established himself as a front-line starter. He was 17-6 with a 3.21 ERA. He had 206 K’s in 196 innings against only 93 walks. The Mets knocked him around in his one start against them last season. He pitched 5 innings and gave up 4 runs on 8 hits and 3 walks.

Pelfrey pitched two games against the Reds last season going 0-1 with a 4.85 ERA. He also had somewhat of a breakout year but not even close to what Volquez did for the Reds.

  1. I am overly excited about this game. Volquez is a tremendous talent and I love watching him pitch. Pelfrey needs to prove that he is meant to be at the top of the rotation…

    Will we see Sheff today?
