The New York Mets are back in action tonight against the Arizona Diamondbacks, and if you're a fan hoping for a high-scoring affair, you might want to temper those expectations. The Mets' offense has been stuck in neutral lately, and the big question is whether they can generate enough runs to back up their pitching plan for the evening.
Manager Carlos Mendoza is turning to an opener strategy, with Huascar Brazobán getting the first call before handing things over to David Peterson for bulk innings. It's a creative approach that will test the bullpen's depth, but it all starts with the bats.
Here's the Mets' lineup for tonight:
Juan Soto (DH), Bo Bichette (SS), Austin Slater (LF), Mark Vientos (1B), Marcus Semien (2B), Andy Ibanez (3B), Tyrone Taylor (CF), Carson Benge (RF), Luis Torrens (C)
The Diamondbacks counter with a lineup that's been more consistent this season:
Ketel Marte (2B), Corbin Carroll (RF), Geraldo Perdomo (SS), Adrian Del Castillo (DH), Ildemaro Vargas (1B), Nolan Arenado (3B), James McCann (C), Jorge Barrosa (CF), Ryan Waldschmidt (LF)
