07/21/2010 -
Phoenix, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Arizona rookie right-hander Barry Enright
turned in eight solid innings following a shaky start, and the Diamondbacks
beat the New York Mets, 3-2, in the second portion of a three-game series at
Chase Field.
Enright (2-2), making just his fourth career start, limited New York to one
run on five hits, walked one and struck out eight. He also recorded his first
major league hit as well as his first RBI.
Justin Upton hit a solo home run and Gerardo Parra stroked an RBI triple for
the Diamondbacks, who posted a 13-2 win Monday to snap a four-game losing
streak.
Josh Thole and Angel Pagan both homered for the Mets, who have been held to
four or fewer runs in 11 straight games, going 3-8 during that span.
R.A. Dickey gave up three runs on seven hits over seven innings to take
the loss. The knuckleballer is 0-4 in his past five outings after starting the
2010 campaign 6-0 over his first seven trips to the mound.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.
Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.
El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.
MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds.
Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.
New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.
Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
