ATLANTA -- Here's the lineup as the Mets face Braves right-hander Tommy Hanson on Saturday. Lucas Duda, who sits today, is htting .143 with one RBI and six walks in eight starts in July.
Ruben Tejada, ss
Jordany Valdespin, lf
David Wright, 3b
Ike Davis, 1b
Daniel Murphy, 2b
Kirk Nieuwenhuis, rf
Josh Thole, c
Andres Torres, cf
R.A. Dickey, rhp
By taking until age 37, R.A. Dickey is oldest first-time 12-plus game winner in the majors since Satchel Paige in 1952. Paige turned 46 that season. Aided by a couple of comebacks that have handed him no-decisions, Dickey is bidding for his 11th straight winning decision today. That would be the longest Mets streak since Dwight Gooden had 14 straight winning decisions in 1985.
