Who is starting for the Mets?

Carlos Carrasco, who has been up and down of sorts. He's allowed two earned runs or less in six of his nine starts this year, but in his other three has allowed eight, five, and four. That gives him a 3.98 ERA (23 earned runs/52.0 innings), but in two outings against the Nats, he has allowed just three earned in 12.1 frames (2.19 ERA). He also has bounced back from every rough outing, and he is coming off a five-run, 5.2 inning performance on Friday against the Phillies.

Who is starting for the Nationals?

Evan Lee, who is making his MLB debut, getting the call straight from Double-A Harrisburg. In seven starts this year with Harrisburg, he is 0-3 with a 3.60 ERA (12 earned runs/30.0 innings).

Upcoming schedule

The Mets head back west for a daunting 10-game road trip that starts with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday at 10:10 p.m.

Taijuan Walker will start for the Mets. The Dodgers have not named a starter.
