NEW YORK -- And now time to beat up on some cellar-dwellers. Well, maybe.
Can the New York Mets take advantage of a final homestand during which they play three teams -- the Minnesota Twins (55-92), Atlanta Braves (56-90) and Philadelphia Phillies (65-82) -- that are a combined 88 games under .500?
Their quest to do so begins Friday at 7:10 p.m. ET, when Bartolo Colon (13-7, 3.27 ERA) opposes Twins right-hander Jose Berrios (2-6, 9.27).
The Giants beat the Cardinals on Thursday in the opener to a four-game series.
