Good morning, Mets fans!!
Today, the Mets will have their regularly scheduled game against the Cardinals at 7:10 p.m. Steven Matz (5-4, 3.88 ERA) will face off against Daniel Ponce de Leon (0-0, 1.80 ERA). The game can be viewed on SNY and WCBS 880.
But first, they will finish up last night’s suspended game, which will start at 6:10 p.m. The game currently stands at a 4-4 score after Edwin Diaz‘s blown ninth-inning save. While this sounds like a great idea on paper, leaving only an hour for the Mets to score a run seems a little bit optimistic.
