Mets embark on a crucial road trip


After a three-game sweep by Yankees that brought their record to 37-37, the Mets begin a a seven-game road trip that concludes this weekend in Philadelphia.

Nieve keeps chilling opponents' bats, holding the Cardinals scoreless on three hits in six innings to improve to 3-0 in three starts in place of the disabled John Maine. Nieve has given up just 10 hits in 20 2/3 innings as a starter this season and has lowered his ERA to 1.31. Nieve is 1-0 with a 4.00 ERA in three career appearances against the Brewers, including one start. Back on May 2, 2006, Nieve allowed four runs on six hits in seven innings at Miller Park, earning the win for the Astros.
He needs to pitch well and hold a lead (if they have one).
