The Mets and Nats traded blowout wins in the first two games of the series. That sets the stage for a rubber match on the last day of April. The Nats will look to win another road series, while the Mets will look to avoid another embarrassing home series loss.<\/p>\n

Blake Butera usually likes to spread out righties and lefties, but not today. He has six straight lefties to start his lineup, and then two switch hitters after that. Jacob Young<\/a> is the only true righty in the lineup, and he is in the 9 spot. Jose Tena, Luis Garcia Jr.<\/a>, Jorbit Vivas<\/a> and Drew Millas<\/a> will be in there after not playing yesterday. Brady House<\/a> is out despite his grand slam. Miles Mikolas<\/a> will be getting the start today. He does not have an opener ahead of him in this one.<\/p>\n

The Mets have made a couple alterations. Mark Vientos<\/a> is at first base, which pushed Brett Baty<\/a> to right field and Carson Benge to center. Luis Torrens<\/a> will be doing the catching in this one instead of Francisco Alvarez. Freddy Peralta<\/a> was a big offseason addition for the Mets, and he will look to propel his new team to a series win.<\/p>\n
