Finally, Daniel Murphy is back in the lineup, batting second and playing left field in place of the injured Fernando Tatis. Murphy has been a spark plug since he joined the Mets when the team was in Houston last month. His numbers have been good, but he’s seen limited time since Ryan Church’s return.
Argenis Reyes is playing in place of Luis Castillo.
Here’s the lineup:
METS
SS Jose Reyes
LF Daniel Murphy
3B David Wright
1B Carlos Delgado
CF Carlos Beltran
RF Ryan Church
2B Argenis Reyes
C Brian Schneider
RH Brandon Knight
reyes batting 7th is not a good thing but hopefully the big guns will make it a moot point
its better than castillo hitting 7th
There is no difference between Reyes or Castillo batting 7th. Neither belongs there.
