The Mets have had back-to-back nationally televised games. After last night’s 8 PM start they come back to Citi Field today for a late afternoon game against the Brewers. The Mets are coming off of a series win which should have been a sweep, but they took two out of three as they try to build some momentum out of it. Bruce and Duda started hitting again this weekend while the bullpen got a bit of rest from deGrom and Harvey, but pitchers with too many appearances (like Jerry Blevins) still warmed up last night.
