The New York Mets (10-5) travel from Northern California to the Midwest for a three-game series with the Minnesota Twins (5-11). Since dropping two of three to the Astros in the first series of the year, the Mets have not lost a series, taking two of three from two different series with the Marlins, sweeping the Blue Jays, and losing just one to the Athletics.
While the Mets’ offense has not exactly fired on all cylinders just yet, the pitching staff has been good enough to propel them to first place in the National League East.
