(by Doug Kahn)Winless in this last five starts, Mike Pelfrey has a "brave" task ahead. In the past two games, the Mets' starters have been unable to compete with their opposing Atlanta starters, losing both games decidedly. Pelfrey has the daunting task of breaking this slump against the division rival Braves.
During his last start, Pelfrey showed his capabilities against the Nationals, allowing only one run into the eighth inning.
In his last five starts, the Mets have only been able to fork up a maximum of four runs, with a combined total of five in his last three starts. Pelfrey's last outing against the Braves was a loss having lasted only 5 1/3 innings, while giving up nine hits hits and five runs.
In other team news, Ryan Church, arguably the pioneer in Mets hitting as of now, was knocked out cold after an accidental collision occurred when sliding into Braves' second basemen Yunel Escobar.
Church leads the team in average, home runs and falls just two short to David Wright in RBIs.
After the accident, Church was taken to Piedmont Hospital for further observation.
