Phillies-Mets preview

7:10 Citi Field, New York. TV: Comcast SportsNet. Radio: WPHT (1210-AM); WUBA (1480-AM) Spanish.

Pitching matchup: RHP Roy Oswalt (3-2, 2.77) at LHP Chris Capuano (3-5, 5.36)

OSWALT VS. METS: Oswalt has allowed fewer than three runs in six of his seven starts this season, most recently holding the Cardinals to one run in five innings and the Rangers to one run in seven innings. He last faced the Mets on Sept. 12 of last season, pitching a complete-game shutout with six strikeouts, one walk and four singles.

PHILLIES VS. CAPUANO: Capuano has only faced the Phillies once since 2006, last September, when he was pitching for the Brewers. In that start, the Phils managed just one run on four hits with four strikeouts and two walks in five innings. But they ended up winning the game, 1-0.

FYI: Yesterday marked just the 10th time this season that a Phillies starter allowed more than three runs in a game. Cliff Lee allowed four in eight innings.
