To commence the series Friday night, the Mets were on the losing end of a 1-0 battle with the Nationals. But despite the defeat, Joey Lucchesi looked solid, allowing just four hits through 5.1 innings while striking out five batters and walking just two.
The Mets have now dropped two straight but could definitely put together a winning streak Saturday when they undergo a doubleheader in D.C.
David Peterson takes the mound for New York in Game One.
