Morning Briefing: Bring on the Nats!
WASHINGTON -- Only one more team with a winning record appears on the New York Mets’ schedule this season. That’s the Washington Nationals, who host the Mets for three games beginning Monday.
Rafael Montero (0-0, 4.63 ERA) opposes Mat Latos (7-2, 4.74) in the 7:05 p.m. ET opener at Nationals Park.
Rafael Montero has pitched the Mets to two wins in his two recent starts.The Mets have won both of Montero’s starts since he stepped into the rotation for sidelined Jacob deGrom. However, Montero has flirted with danger. He has walked a combined 10 batters in 9 1/3 innings.
