NY Mets vs Tigers live updates, score and analysis of today's game
Follow our live updates as the New York Mets open a three-game series against the Tigers on Monday night at Citi Field
NEW YORK — The urgency is beginning to set in for the Mets as they return home after an incomplete nine-game road trip. While the Mets won five of their nine games out west, the club's offense was held to three runs or fewer in five separate games. They whiffed at an opportunity to score three series victories when they pushed across one run in each of the last two games against the Diamondbacks .
Now, the Mets return to Citi Field with an understanding that something needs to change for them to change the trajectory of their season. It begins with a three-game series against the Tigers, beginning at 7:10 p. m.
on Tuesday night at Citi Field. That chance will run through the Subway Series later this week as they welcome the Yankees for three games beginning on Friday. "We’ve got to be better than what we’ve shown.
That’s not a secret," Carlos Mendoza said. "We’ve been in a slump for quite a bit now. We have to be able to play consistent, good baseball.
