<h3>Glavine looks to help Mets rebound from tough loss</h3>

NY Mets (67-53) at Washington (55-66) 7:05 pm EDT


WASHINGTON (Ticker) -- The New York Mets look to rebound from atough loss when they visit the Washington Nationals in theopener of a three-game series on Friday.


New York lost after having a five-run lead for the first timesince 2004 as the Pittsburgh Pirates took advantage of a pair oferrors to post a 10-7 win in the finale on Thursday.

The Mets held leads of 5-0 and 7-3, but the Pirates tied thegame at 7-7 with three runs in the seventh. Third baseman DavidWright's two-base error kept the eighth inning alive, andFreddy Sanchez came around to score the go-ahead run on adropped throw at the plate after a single by Adam LaRoche.

With the loss, the Mets saw their lead over Philadelphia (64-56)trimmed to three games in the National League East.

Glavine (10-6, 4.25 ERA) will looks to help the Mets forget thatterrible loss. The 41-year-old lefthander allowed two runshits in 6 1/3 innings of a no-decision in a 7-5 loss to Florida.The future Hall of Famer is 9-4 with a 2.13 ERA in his last 15starts against Washington.


Matt Chico (5-6, 4.85) takes the hill for Washington, which hasthe second-best record in the National League since the All-Starbreak at 19-14 and has won eight of its last 10 games here.

In his last start, Chico allowed four runs in five innings butdid not factor into the decision in a 11-4 loss to Arizona onFriday.
