Rays, Mets similar foes going for rubber-game win

NEW YORK -- The New York Mets and Tampa Bay Rays will experience what it's like to look across the field and feel as if they're staring into a mirror for the last time this season on Sunday afternoon when the teams play the rubber game of a three-game series at Citi Field.

The Mets' Chris Flexen (0-1, 10.80 ERA) is scheduled to face the Rays' Nathan Eovaldi (2-3, 3.92) in a battle of right-handers.

The Rays posted a 3-0 win Saturday afternoon when ace left-hander Blake Snell tossed 7 1/3 strong innings and Wilson Ramos collected two RBI.
