Morning Briefing: Mets Travel to St. Louis For Makeup Game
Good morning, Mets fans!
After dropping Sunday afternoon’s matchup to the Angels 3-2, the Mets (58-53) will try to turn the page on Monday. But instead of having an off day, they will instead travel to St. Louis for a one-game makeup game from May 8 against the St. Louis Cardinals (57-54) and then head to Colorado for a three-game series against the Rockies.
On Monday night it will be Sean Manaea (7-4, 3.50 ERA) on the mound for the Mets against Andre Pallante (4-5, 4.04 ERA) for the Cardinals. First pitch is set for 5:15 p.m. ET on Monday evening.
