The Mets (66-67) will look for better results than the last time they visited our nation’s capital as they face off with the Nationals (55-77) for five games. The Mets dropped three out of four in DC in June, and then lost another standalone game later in the month. They have fared much better at Citi Field, where they have won seven times in nine tries against the Nationals.
The Mets are coming off a big series sweep against the Marlins. The two clubs resumed their suspended contest from April 11 after four months, 19 days, 23 hours, and 55 minutes.
