Perez, a southpaw who began his career with San Diego in 2002 and pitched in Pittsburgh from 2003 to 2006 before coming to the Mets, is 9-3 in 17 career starts against the Reds with a 4.09 earned run average in 94 2/3 innin |

| (MySportsbook) - Figured to once again be in a rebuilding mode, the 2008 Florida Marlins have instead busted out their whooping sticks on the rest of the league. The Marlins entered the All-Star break 50-45, tying the 1997 club's franchise record of most wins before the break. Florida also led the majors in home runs before the three-day breather, belting 135 long balls over the first half. Florida homered in 14 straight games before getting kept in the park on Sunday versus Los Angeles, a club record. The |

With both the Phillies and Mets now holding identical 52-44 marks, the slate is wiped clean for both clubs entering the second half. And don't forget about the Florida Marlins, who sit just 1 1/2 games back and begin a three-game series with Philadelphia on Friday.
