Fresh off a 3-3 road trip in which they took two out of three from the Athletics and dropped two out of three to the Twins, the Mets (11-7) return to Citi Field for a seven-game homestand. They’ll begin their latest Citi Field swing with a four-game set against the Cardinals (9-9). The Mets dropped two out of three to St. Louis at Citi Field last year, though they won the season series 4-2 thanks to a sweep at Busch Stadium.
The Mets’ offense continued to sputter in Minnesota, as it has for much of the season.
