The New York Mets’ pitching has been outstanding during their four-game winning streak, and they’ll get to hand the ball to Johan Santana as they try to keep rolling against the Cleveland Indians. Santana’s mound opponent, however, might be able to keep pace. Justin Masterson tossed a two-hitter against one of baseball’s highest-scoring teams his last time out, a performance he’d love to replicate as the last-place Indians try to keep visiting New York from a ninth victory in 10 games Tuesday night. The Mets have gone from being in last place and seven games back in the NL East on May 22 to 1 1/2 out of first by winning 15 of 20. New York has allowed 10 runs during its four-game win streak and capped a three-game sweep at Baltimore with season highs in hits and runs Sunday. Jason Bay and David Wright combined for three homers and seven of the Mets’ 18 hits in an 11-4 rout. New York entered that series 8-18 on the road.
The Mets had little trouble against the major league-worst Orioles, but Cleveland’s starter for the opener could pose a problem as the teams meet for the first time since 2004. Masterson had shown little promise in his first full season with the Indians after coming over from Boston, but his latest start was more than encouraging. Facing his former team for the first time, Masterson held the Red Sox to two singles and struck out six while going the distance in an 11-0 win Wednesday. Masterson faced the Mets once in relief while with Boston, allowing a run in three innings May 22, 2009. Santana has plenty of experience versus Cleveland, though all of that came with Minnesota from 2000-2007. He won’t fondly remember his most recent outings, going 0-5 with a 4.38 ERA against the Indians in 2007. The Mets are 2-6 in the left-hander’s last eight starts, proof that having Santana on the hill is hardly the automatic advantage it once seemed to be. The two-time Cy Young Award winner gave up eight hits, four walks and four runs over 6 2-3 innings in a 4-2 loss to San Diego on Thursday.
