The Marlins come to town and the Mets are looking to get back on the winning track tonight after dropping three of four to the Nationals this past week. The Mets pitching was for the most part solid yesterday, but the offense could not click together and left a good amount of runners on base, leading to a scoreless showing. Tonight Jacob deGrom gets the start against Jarred Cosart.
