Good morning, Mets fans!
Things have been going as badly as they can lately. The Mets have lost 11 of their last 12 games and seven in a row. Now, they return to Citi Field for a six-game homestand to hopefully enjoy some good ole home cooking.
Starting tonight, the Mets begin a three-game set versus the Atlanta Braves at 7:10 p.m. ET. The Mets will be sending out Clay Holmes (9-6, 3.46 ERA) to the bump against Spencer Strider (5-9, 4.04 ERA).
Next on the homestand will see the red hot Seattle Mariners.
The Mets look to stay in the NL East division race while also maintaining their slim Wild Card spot.
