Nolasco is coming off a five-inning no decision against the New York Mets on Tuesday in which he surrendered four runs and walked three. The effort raised his season ERA to an unwanted 6.92, and he gave up at least four runs in four of his five April starts. The 26-year-old was selected by the Cubs in fourth round of the |

He's allowed just one earned run over 11 frames in his two most recent outings, shaking off the effects of a sore knee to defeat the New York Mets on April 23 and take a hard-luck no-decision against Atlanta this past Tuesday. Lohse swept a pair of starts against Washington last season while giving up just eight hits and a run in 12 innings, limiting Nationals hitters to a .200 batting average |

| (Sportsbooks) - Early bragging rights in one of baseball's most heated rivalries will be at stake this afternoon at Philadelphia's Citizens Bank Park, where the Phillies and New York Mets play the rubber match of a three- game series. The Mets drew first blood in this weekend set with a 7-4 victory on Friday, but the defending world champion Phillies got a measure of revenge with yesterday's 6-5, 10-inning triumph. The winning run came when Shane Victorino drew a bases-loaded, two-out walk off New York r |

Perez will attempt to call upon his past success when the badly-struggling southpaw takes the mound for the Mets in today's second test of a three-game weekend series with the rival Phillies from Citizens Bank Park. The puzzling Perez was spectacular in four starts against Philadelphia last season, holding the eventual |

The right-hander was tagged for six first-inning runs by the New York Mets this past Monday and was dealt the loss in Florida's 7-1 setback to its division rival. Sanchez did not give up a run over the final five frames of that start, however. Prior to that performance, Sanchez had posted a strong 2.50 ERA over his first t |
