Livan Hernandez P (5-1, 4.33 ERA)

The Mets will face their third straight right-handed pitcher, Jason Berken (1-3, 7.32 ERA), as they try to win the rubber game of the three-game series in Baltimore. The players are pretty much the same, but the order is a little different.

Murphy is batting in the two hole after getting three hits last night, and Martinez, who has not been able to find any kind of consistency at the plate, is batting eighth. Santos gives Brian Schneider a day off, and Sheffield and Church switch spots in the order.
