The New York Mets now are in the midst of a five game losing streak and are the owners of a 22 -29 overall home record at Citi Field. Tonight Atlanta looks to take game two at Citi Field against the Mets who have been out scored 21-9 during the five game skid. Uggla and Freeman both extended their hitting streaks last night and seemed to be poised to continue unless Mets starter Niese with a 10-8 overall record and 3.94 ERA can break their momentum. Niese will have to drastically improve on his home performance though where he is 1-3 in his last five outings in Citi Field. The Mets run production in Niese's starts has only been 3 runs or fewer in 4 of those five home starts which all resulted in Mets loses. Hanson for Atlanta is 11-6 3.28 ERA overall and has won six straight road games. He has a 3-2 2.27ERA in six outings against New York. Hanson can be a stirkeout machine when he gets it dialed in. Chipper Jones might return to action tonight to add to Niese's worries and no name Jose Costanza is making a name for himself this week with great play on both sides of the diamond. If Niese cannot break Uggla's or Freeman's hitting streaks and the poor run production by the Mets offense continues, the Citi Park Blues could once again be in the news. Source ESPN MLB Preview
