Good morning, Mets fans!
The Mets capped off their first sweep of the year Sunday night by walking off the Phillies in 10 innings. Eduardo Escobar drove in Starling Marte with a single for the game-winning run, after Nick Plummer tied the game in the ninth with his first big-league home run. The Mets are now 32-17 on the year and hold an 8.5-game lead over the second-place Braves.
The Nationals come to Citi Field for a three-game set tonight, David Peterson (2-0, 2.16 ERA) will face off against Erick Fedde (3-3, 3.55 ERA). First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 pm EST.
