Eaton plans to get Phils back on top

Though the Phillies' nine-game winning streak over the Mets was ended on Wednesday, Adam Eaton, who'll start Thursday at 7:10 p.m. ET, just might start a brand new streak.

Phillies probable pitcher

Adam Eaton

  • #21 RHP
  • (0-0) 3.52 ERA 2 SO
Eaton turned in a stellar 2008 debut on Saturday, allowing two runs in 7 2/3 innings. To put that in perspective, he lasted that long in a game once in his 30 starts last season. While one start can't erase the misery of his 10-10, 6.29 ERA year in 2007, Eaton and his teammates were encouraged by his economical outing. He is particularly good against the Mets, with a 5-0 record and a 2.68 ERA against them in seven career outings.

Mets probable pitcher

John Maine

  • #33 RHP
  • (0-1) 9.00 ERA 5 SO
Maine needed 96 pitches to complete four innings in his 2008 debut and more offense from his teammates to avoid a loss. The Braves fouled off many pitches and didn't hit him all that hard. Maine has been quite successful against the Phillies -- 4-0 record and 2.13 ERA in six career starts.

Angel of Queens: Pagan lifts Mets (4-6) (4-4)

Mets 4, Phillies 3 (12)

Homers not enough

Ken Mandel / MLB.com
Pedro Feliz, who connected on his first dinger with the Phils in seventh, tied it in the eighth with an RBI groundout, but the visitors dropped the rubber game. Ryan Howard also went deep for Philly.
