Despite missing out on a sweep, the Nats still had a successful weekend against the O’s. They will look to keep the good times rolling against another rival in the Mets. The first time the Nats and Mets played, the Nationals managed to win two out of three. Now, they will match up for four games against a Mets team that is playing better baseball.

The Nats are making a couple lineup changes to open this series. Jorbit Vivas will replace Nasim Nunez at second base. Drew Millas will also do the catching instead of Keibert Ruiz. Besides that, it will be the same group as yesterday. Jake Irvin has not been great lately, but he will look to right the ship tonight.

The Mets are getting some big contributions from younger players. Carson Benge has settled in after a rough start to his big league career. A.J. Ewing has been fantastic to start his big league career. Those two and Juan Soto have been the heavy hitters in this Mets lineup. Bo Bichette has had a tough start to his Mets career, but we know the talent is there. Christian Scott is on the bump for the Mets tonight.
