The Mets (76-43) prepare for another four-game series with a division opponent as they head to Citizens Bank Park to face the Phillies (65-52). The Mets have dominated the season series this year, taking 11 out of 15 games so far, including four of six in Philadelphia.
The Mets lost three out of four to the Braves and, in the process, dropped their first series against an NL East opponent all season. The injury bug, which bit them on Sunday with Luis Guillorme’s injury, reared its ugly head again, as Carlos Carrasco had to exit Monday’s start with an oblique injury after getting his start interrupted by inclement weather in the second inning.
