Andrew Brown Goes From Triple-A to the Mets' Lineup ATLANTA - The Mets were hitting .191 in the seven games before the start of the weekend series with the Braves, so they could use a serious jolt for their offense, especially among their outfielders. They called up Andrew Brown from Triple-A Las Vegas and immediately put him in the lineup to hit eighth and play right field against the Atlanta left-hander Mike Minor on Friday night. "It's always a good thing when you get to play right away," said Brown, who was hitting .367 in Las Vegas in 25 games. You're coming from playing every day and not having to sit the bench. Pinch-hitting is the hardest thing in this game to possibly do. The Mets sent Opening Day hero Collin Cowgill to Las Vegas. He hit a grand slam in his Major League debut, but has struggled since. "One of the worst things that can happen is walk right out and hit homers on Opening Day," Manager Terry Collins said. I just thought he was over-swinging. When he got on base he was dangerous; he wasn't getting on. I knew that wasn't the kind of player he was. I said, look it's time to go play every day and get your stroke down. Collins said that the Mets needed to start getting some offense from their outfield and that it was time to make a move. Brown, 28, has played in the St. Louis and Colorado organizations. He has 134 at bats in the majors and is hitting .224. Davis Sits First baseman Ike Davis, who has three hits in his last 20 at bats, was a healthy scratch against Minor. Justin Turner made his second start of the season at first base and hit in the fifth spot. "It's just a matter of time with Ike for me," Collins said. He's done it. He's got a track record for doing it, so I know if we keep getting him out there he is eventually going to find it. Justin has hit this guy. It's the perfect time to get him in there and see if Ike can break out of it and try and stay as positive as we can because the one thing Ike Davis will do when he gets it going he will hit home runs and drive in runs.
