Ike Davis to Begin Starting vs. LHP

On Monday afternoon at Dodgers Stadium in Los Angeles, Mets skipper Terry Collins said he plans to begin starting 1B Ike Davis against Left Handed pitching. His first start against a Southpaw will come either tonight or tomorrow, with the team facing LHP Hyun-Jin Ryu  (11-3, 2.99 ERA) tonight and former Mets LHP Chris Capuano (4-6, 4.50 ERA) tomorrow night. Josh Satin has been getting the call at first base previously, since Ike Davis' recall from Triple-A Las Vegas back in July.

Ike Davis has finally been getting on base, having a .485 OBP since being promoted, although the slugger only has 1 HR and 9 RBI since his promotion.
