Mets, Coming Off Win, Get Ready to Face Strausburg

After beating the Nationals to even the series last night, 5-3, the Mets prepare to face MLB poster-boy and flame-throwing phenom, Stephen Strasburg, today at 4:10 PM ET.

Funnily enough, the Mets already have two players with career hits off Strasburg, albeit in the Minors. Both Ruben Tejada and Jesus Feliciano hit singles off Strasburg in his final start before he debuted in the Majors. In fact, Feliciano was the last batter Strasburg faced in the Minors.

It should be interesting to see how the Mets' hitters handle him today.

Pitching for the Mets is R.A. Dickey, which makes for one of the most odd pitching match-ups in the MLB this season.
