Entering Friday night's game at Citi Field the Mets have dropped six of their last seven including two of three to the Nationals. The Mets looked to bounce back Friday night after Matt Harvey's worst outing of his career. They got it with a 3-2 win to open their three game series.
Steven Matz took the mound for New York and pitched seven solid innings to win his sixth start in a row. He got off to a rough start surrendering a two run homer to Chris Carter in the first inning however, he retired 15 consecutive batters after that as he went seven innings with nine strikeouts and no walks.
The Mets got on the board in the second inning with an RBI groundout by Rene Rivera. Still trailing 2-1 in the sixth inning the Mets rallied. Asdrubal Cabrera singled to lead off the frame. Michael Conforto followed that up with a two run shot into left field to give the Mets a 3-2 lead they would not squander.
Game two of the three game set is today with a 4:10 first pitch from Citi Field. Jacob deGrom will take the ball for the Mets while Zach Davies will pitch for the Brewers
