<h3>Glavine looks to move closer to history vs. Pirates</h3>



<div class="pre">Pittsburgh (41-57) at Ny Mets (56-43) 7:10 pm EDT</div>

<div class="pre">FLUSHING, New York (Ticker) - Tom Glavine takes the mound on</div>Wednesday in his second attempt at notching career win No. 299when he faces the Pittsburgh Pirates.


Glavine (8-6, 4.51 ERA) will try and rebound from his worststart in nearly four years as he looks to become the 22ndpitcher in major-league history to record 300 wins.

The 41-year-old future Hall of Famer was tagged for six runs and10 hits in a season-low two innings against Los Angeles onThursday. It was the lefhander's shortest start since July 29,2003.


John Maine threw seven solid innings and hit a two-run homer asNew York took the opener, 8-4, on Tuesday. Lasting Milledgewent 3-for-3, homered and drove in three runs for the Mets, whohave won four of five and eight of 13 since the All-Star break.

Pittsburgh, which has just one win in 10 games since theAll-Star break, will send Tom Gorzelanny (9-5, 3.20) to thehill.


Gorzelanny allowed just two runs and six hits in seven inningsagainst Houston on Friday. The 25-year-old lefthander hasallowed three runs or less in five of his last six starts.

Jason Bay who hadn't had an extra-base hit in almost a month,homered twice for Pittsburgh in the loss.
