Game #72 vs. Tigers
The Mets will be going for the sweep tonight against Detroit without, as expected, without center fielder Angel Pagan, who is sidelined with a muscle spasm in his right side.
Jesus Feliciano will start in center.
Pagan left last night’s game in the seventh inning, and typically Jerry Manuel rests a player the day after taking him out of a game with an injury.
Manuel said Pagan could be able to play tomorrow night against Minnesota.
Tonight’s lineup against Detroit:
REYES: On a hot streak.
Jose Reyes, SS
Angel Pagan, CF
David Wright, 3B
Ike Davis, 1B
Jason Bay, LF
Rod Barajas, C
Jeff Francoeur, RF
Ruben Tejada, 2B
