Last time out, Taillon allowed three earned runs over five innings in a loss to the Brewers at home. Both of Taillon's career starts vs. the Mets came in his rookie season, when he allowed three runs on eight hits and three walks over 14 innings.
Subbing for Noah Syndergaard in the Mets’ rotation, Lugo has run into a rough patch, allowing eight earned runs in his last eight innings. The Mets hope a return to sea level will help Lugo, who lasted just three innings last time out in Denver.
