Game 23: Mets @ Nationals

Here is the line-up that will face hard-throwing righty Jordan Zimmermann.

Reyes
Murphy
Wright
Beltran
Bay
Davis
Thole
Pridie
C Young

Chris Young is making his first start back since his first DL stint with bicep tendonitis (his last start was April 10th versus the Nationals). "When healthy", he's thrown well this year (1-0 in 2 starts, 1.46 ERA, 0.97 WHIP) but that's been the case throughout his career. Here is the pre-season scouting report on Young.

My Prediction: Young doesn't make it through 5 innings, and D Gee has to throw 2+ innings (he threw 93 pitches on Saturday, so this would be his normal bullpen day). The Mets 4-game winning streak comes to an end, losing 5-3.
