Here's a look at the New York Mets' lineup for Friday's game vs. the Philadelphia Phillies.
The New York Mets announced their starting lineup for Friday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citi Field. Jared Young, the first baseman, was stretchered off the field after a collision with Nolan McLean at first base on Thursday night. Young was taken to the hospital but was discharged early Friday morning and is doing well according to Mets interim manager Andy Green.
Despite Young's absence, the Mets are set to take the field at 7:15 p.m. facing the Phillies. The Phillies won the series opener against the Mets 3-0, marking their fifth consecutive loss. The Mets will look to their starting pitchers to turn the tide. Zac Thornton, the Mets' starting pitcher, is set to make his 14th start of the season.
Thornton, a rookie left-hander, has a 3.44 ERA and 1.16 WHIP. He recently had a strong performance against the Yankees, where he struck out four batters over seven innings. The Phillies will start the night with Tim Mayza, who has a 3-3 record with a 3.06 ERA and 1.05 WHIP in 56 appearances, including five starts. The Mets and Phillies are both vying for the top NL Wild Card spot, with the Phillies currently one game ahead of the Padres, who hold the last wild card position.
