The first-place Mets (61-37) head down to Florida on a three-game winning streak as they take on the Marlins (47-52). The Mets have won seven of their 11 against Miami this year, including taking two of three during their one visit to loanDepot Park.
After dropping their first two games against the Padres on Friday and Saturday, the Mets won the Sunday Night Baseball series finale and followed that up with a sweep against the Yankees to conclude a winning homestand. Things did not get off to a promising start on Tuesday, as Aaron Judge and Anthony Rizzo hit back-to-back pitches into the stands against Taijuan Walker to stake the Bronx Bombers to a 2-0 lead.
