Good morning, Mets fans!
After an off day Thursday, the Mets kick off yet another west coast series against the Angels tonight. The Angels are officially on a winning streak, having just ended their brutal 14-game losing streak Thursday night. The Mets lost their last two games to the Padres.
The Mets will not, however, have to face their old friend Noah Syndergaard this series. Syndergaard isn’t scheduled to pitch until next Tuesday. Tylor Megill will be taking the mound for New York tonight at Angel Stadium with first pitch set for 9:38 p.m. ET.
