It seems like Shawn Green and Paul Lo Duca, have been on a tear recently. How good is this tear? Let's look at the numbers:

Green, in his last 10 games, has a batting average of .423. He has 11 hits in 26 AB, including 2 homers. The downside to this tear is that in his last 10 games, he has only had 3 RBI's and scored 4 times.

Lo Duca has also been on a tear. His average during his last ten games is not like Green's, LoDuca only hitting .286 (which is above his season mark anyway) be he also has 7 RBI's. (2 Runs).

The Stat to really look at is his September stats. He is hitting .302 this month with 16 RBI's.

The New York Mets will square off tonight with the Nationals' Matt Chico. In his last 10 appearences, he has gone 54.0 innings, and has an ERA of 5.00 (30 ER, 60 H, 29 BB, 30 K) In those 10 games, he is 1-3.

In one of those ten games, he played the Mets (August 17th). He pitched 4.1 innings, allowed 4 runs, 5 BB, and 2 K's.

His only other appearance agaisnt the Mets came on April 27th, where he was the winning pitcher, 5.2 innings and only 2 ER.

He is having his best month of the season right now, so far 3 starts in September, 18 innings and a 2.00 ERA.
