Follow our live updates as the New York Mets open a three-game series with the Nationals on Tuesday at Citi Field.
NEW YORK — The pressure is mounting on every level for the Mets. As the Mets enter a three-game series with the Nationals, beginning at 7:10 p. m.
on Tuesday night at Citi Field, they are looking to shake off a three-game sweep to the Rockies. They have lost 15 of their last 17 games and find themselves tied for the worst record in Major League Baseball with the Nationals. The tension begins with the offense, which has scored two runs or fewer in 11 of their last 17 games.
It continues with manager Carlos Mendoza, who has seen two other managers - Alex Cora and Rob Thomson - lose their jobs in the recent games. It continues with David Stearns, who constructed the new roster on the heels of 2025's massive disappointment. The only thing that will solve that angst is winning results.
The offense's quest should be favorable one on Tuesday night as Nationals starter Zack Littell enters with an 0-3 record and a 7. 56 ERA. Littell has allowed three runs or more in four of his five appearances and has surrendered a combined 14 earned runs in his last two starts.
