| (Best E Casino) - With his manager's job possibly hanging in the balance, Pedro Martinez takes the hill searching for his second victory of the season when the New York Mets play the second of three interleague contests against the Texas Rangers at Shea Stadium. Martinez, who is just 1-0 with a 6.91 earned run average on the year, received a no-decision in his second start since returning from the disabled list on Sunday against San Diego, as he allowed four runs and 10 hits in five innings of an 8-6 loss. |

NEW YORK (AP) -The New York Mets bolstered their injury-depleted outfield Friday night, acquiring Trot Nixon from the Arizona Diamondbacks. The 34-year-old Nixon, known for his gritty playing style, hit .309 with 10 homers and 31 RBIs in 58 games with Triple-A Tucson after failing to make the Diamondbacks' big league roster out of spring training. Arizona gets cash or a player to be named in the deal. Nixon is expected to fill the void left by Moises Alou, who went back on the disabled list Friday w |

| (Best E Casino) - The New York Mets' lackluster play has once again put manager Willie Randolph on the hot seat. Tonight, they turn to their most inconsistent starter to turn things around, as left-hander Oliver Perez welcomes the Texas Rangers to Shea Stadium for the start of three-game interleague affair. The Mets wasted an outstanding effort from starter Johan Santana on Thursday, as the bullpen blew a four-run lead in Arizona's 5-4, 10-inning victory.

NEW YORK (AP) -Billy Wagner blew another one for the struggling New York Mets. The All-Star closer coughed up his third consecutive save chance, this time wasting a splendid pitching performance by Johan Santana and allowing the Arizona Diamondbacks to rally past New York 5-4 in 10 innings Thursday. Justin Upton doubled leading off the 10th against Aaron Heilman (0-3) and scored on Miguel Montero's sacrifice fly to help the Diamondbacks take two of three in the series.

| (Best E Casino) - A pair of ex-American League aces square off for the second time this season when the Arizona Diamondbacks visit Shea Stadium to close out a three-game midweek series with the New York Mets. Neither Arizona's Dan Haren nor New York's Johan Santana figured in the decision on May 4 in Phoenix, where the visiting Mets scored three times in the ninth inning to earn a 5-2 road triumph.
