Around the NL East


Jesus Flores is hitting .314/.388/.535, and throwing out 42% of base stealers. He'll be 24 all season.

The Nationals are 8-8 in their last 16 games.

Jo-Jo Reyes hasn't won in his last 17 starts, Tommy Hanson's numbers in triple-A are incredible, and the Braves lack star power.

Brad Lidge gave up his 5th home run of the season last night after giving up only 2 last year. Lidge has given up 11 earned runs in 11 2/3 innings after giving up only 15 in 69 1/3 innings in '08.

The Mets won last night, and were able to avoid using Francisco Rodriguez who had pitched four straight nights. Rodriguez has converted 203 of his last 225 save opportunities.

Fernando Martinez is 13 for his last 27, and is now batting .300/.349/.550.
