The Mets (35-26) begin a critical stretch against divisional opponents with four games against the Washington Nationals (30-35) in our nation’s capital. These two teams were originally scheduled to open the season against one another at Nationals Park, but a COVID-19 outbreak on the Nationals prevented that from happening. When the two teams faced off at Citi Field in April, the Mets won two out of three.
The Mets are coming off a series win against the Chicago Cubs at Citi Field. On Monday, David Peterson bounced back from a rough stretch and turned in six stellar innings of one-hit ball.
