The New York Mets road trip continues as NL East foes face off as a three-game weekend series begins against the Miami Marlins.
Winners of three of their last four games, the Miami Marlins return home to loanDepot Park tonight for the first game of a three-game weekend series against the New York Mets in a National League East Division matchup. The Mets have lost five of their last seven games needing extra innings in Thursday’s 6-5 road win at Philadelphia to avoid a four-game sweep while the Marlins took two out of three games from the struggling Tigers securing only their second series win of the 2024 season. Miami will send 26-year-old southpaw Jesus Luzardo (0-3, 5.97 ERA) to the mound in search of his first win of the season.

Mets right fielder Starling Marte leads the team with his .259 batting average and comes into tonight’s game with at least one hit in four of his last five games. Marte, who spent parts of two seasons with the Marlins in 2020-21, missed the final two months of the season with a groin injury but has appeared in 39 of New York’s 43 games so far this season.
New York will start 24-year-old rookie right hander Christian Scott (0-1, 2.84 ERA) in his third start since being called up from Triple-A Syracuse in early May. Scott, a Florida native, played in college at Florida before the Mets selected him in the fifth round of the 2021 MLB Draft.
This is the first of 11 games between the teams this season. New York won nine of the 13 meetings against the Marlins a year ago including five of seven games in Miami.
