FLUSHING, New York (Ticker) -- If the New York Mets do not winthe National League East they will look back at their strugglesagainst the Washington Nationals and cringe.


The Mets look to bounce back from a blowout loss as the teamscontinue a three-game series on Tuesday.


New York, which leads the Philadelphia Phillies (85-71) by twogames in the NL East, was pounded 13-4 in the opener on Monday.Austin Kearns and Ryan Langerhans each hit three-run homers asthe Nationals beat the Mets for the third time in the last fourmeetings.


Now the Mets turn to Tom Glavine (13-6, 3.97 ERA) in hopes ofmoving closer to their second straight division title.

The 41-year-old lefthander is unbeaten in his last 14 starts,after failing to receive a decision in an 8-7 loss to Florida onThursday. The future Hall of Famer, who has not lost since July2, allowed four runs and 11 hits in five innings.


Washington, which has won two straight, will counter with JasonBergmann (5-5, 4.30). Bergmann held the Philadelphia Phillies totwo runs and four hits in six innings, but did not receive adecision in a 7-6 loss on Thursday.
