The Mets (3-3) and the Giants (2-4) open a four-game series Thursday night at Oracle Park. New York arrives in town after losing two of three in St. Louis to the Cardinals. The Mets lost yesterday 2-1 in eleven innings thanks to an infield single from Masyn Winn that scored JJ Wetherholt. The Mets had opportunities to win but Marcus Semien flied out to right to end the ninth and eleventh innings stranding four baserunners in the process.
The Giants were smacked yesterday by the Padres, 7-1. Nick Pivetta threw five shutout innings, and Ramon Laureano cracked his second home run of the young season to highlight the afternoon for the Padres. Luis Arraez collected three hits for San Francisco in the loss.
