The .500 Mets (60-60), who earned their first win of this brutal 13-game stretch yesterday, will try desperately to build some momentum and climb back into the NL East race as they head to the City of Angels for a four-game rematch with the Dodgers. Los Angeles just swept the Mets at Citi Field last weekend, winning the first two in ten innings before concluding the series with a laugher.
The Mets dropped the first two against the Giants before salvaging the matinee finale in a thrilling extra inning affair. After flying all the way from New York to California on the red eye following their Sunday Night Baseball embarrassment, the Mets dropped the opener 7-5.
