In his last start, Santana threw seven scoreless innings, allowing only five hits and one walk while striking out five. The last time he faced the Braves he threw 6 1/3 scoreless innings. Last year he lost two games against Atlanta even though he had a 2.57 ERA.<o></o>
<o> </o>
Kawakami is coming off a nice outing against the Cubs on July 8<SUP>th</SUP>. He did lose to the Mets back in early May. Kawakami won’t have to face Jose Reyes, Carlos Beltran or Carlos Delgado on Saturday. None of the three look like they will be in the lineup anytime soon. Delgado might not come back until mid-August. Reyes might be back last this month or early next month while Beltran’s return is unknown. <o></o>
<o> </o>
The Mets would like to get some production out of Jeff Francoeur who is returning to Turner Field in this series as a member of the Mets. Francoeur was traded last week for Ryan Church. Francoeur went hitless on Thursday against the Braves. "I think I tried a little too hard tonight (Thursday)," Francoeur said. "Tomorrow will be fun to come back here and just play. ... I knew this was going to be a different sort of game. That's why I'm sort of glad to get it done with." Francoeur was a Braves fan his whole life and now has to play for a team he really didn’t like. "I grew up a Braves fan my whole life, and now I'm playing for the one team you're never supposed to like at all," Francoeur said. <o></o>
