CHC: RHP Carlos Zambrano (14-7, 3.47 ERA)
Zambrano gave up two hits over 7 1/3 scoreless innings in his last start against the Reds. Big Z became the Major Leagues' first 14-game winner with that victory. He struck out six and is slowly climbing up the strikeout chart. Since declaring he was starting over on June 6, Zambrano is 9-2 with a 1.41 ERA (12 earned runs in 76 2/3 innings) and an NL-leading 77 strikeouts.
NYM: RHP Orlando Hernandez (7-4, 3.02 ERA)
Hernandez recorded his third win in four starts against the Nationals on Saturday. Over seven innings, El Duque limited Washington to just three hits and one run -- a game-tying homer to Felipe Lopez in the sixth -- while walking two and striking out eight. Since the All-Star break, Hernandez has been excellent, posting a 2.42 ERA in four Mets wins.
57-50
61-47
