The Miami Marlins (26-31) and New York Mets (23-33) meet for the first time all season. The two are set for a three-game weekend series at Citi Field.
New York snapped a five-game losing steak on Wednesday with a 4-2 win over Cincinnati. New York is 2-7 over their last nine games, but they have Freddy Peralta on the mound, which has resulted in three wins over his last four starts.
Miami turns to Max Meyer tonight, which is the hot hand for the Marlins. Miami has won five straight with Meyer on the mound outscoring their opponents 33-9. Lately, Miami lost two straight, which broke up a season-long four-game winning streak.
