NY Mets announce lineup vs Washington Nationals for Friday game
Here's a look at the New York Mets' lineup for Friday game vs. Nationals.
The Mets secured a series win over the Rangers on Thursday, but fell short in the final game with a 3-1 loss. Henry Benge contributed the lone run with a first-inning RBI single. With their current 73-86 record, the Mets find themselves in second place in the NL East, just two games behind the Nationals. To climb out of last place, the Mets will face the Nationals in a crucial series beginning Friday at 6:45 p.m. at Nationals Park.
Facing an injury to Christian Scott, the Mets will rely on a strong pitching performance from Jefry Yan, who will open the game for the team. Justin Hagenman, recalled from Triple-A Syracuse, will likely bear the bulk of the workload, having allowed two earned runs in four innings. The Nationals will be led by left-hander Andrew Alvarez, a 27-year-old pitcher with a 3.17 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and 107 strikeouts over 108 innings across 24 appearances.
