The Mets will take on the San Diego Padres tonight at 9:10 P.M. with the hopes of winning the four-game series. The Mets will send Chris Flexen to the mound to make his MLB debut against Luis Perdomo.
Last night, the Mets lost 6-3 to the San Diego Padres. Steven Matz allowed six runs in only three innings of work, while the Mets bats failed to wake up over the course of the game as they could only register five hits. One of those hits would be a solo- home run by Wilmer Flores.
