NY Mets announce lineup vs Baltimore Orioles for Monday game
Here's a look at the New York Mets' lineup for Monday's game vs. the Baltimore Orioles.
The Mets are set to face the Baltimore Orioles in Monday night's game at Citi Field, with a significant focus on the Orioles' batting order rather than their own lineup. Pete Alonso, who is one home run away from reaching 300, will make his return to the Mets' home ballpark for the first time since joining the Orioles. This marks the final homestand of the season for the Mets.
The team is also looking to recover from their recent loss to the Yankees, where they went scoreless despite six quality innings from Christian Scott.
The Orioles, currently four games behind the Guardians in the race for the final AL Wild Card spot, have a shot at making the postseason. Jonah Tong, the Mets' probable starting pitcher for the game, will make his second start since being called up on September 7. Tong's first start saw him allow four earned runs in five innings against the Marlins, but he improved in his subsequent appearances to earn a 2-1 record and a 4.80 ERA.
He will face the Orioles' Brandon Young, who is 9-4 with a 3.71 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in 25 starts. Young comes off a subpar performance where he allowed six earned runs in just 3⅔ innings.
