The New York Mets beat the Philadelphia Phillies 6-2 on Saturday, snapping their 7-game losing streak.
The Phillies lead the series 3-2, with the Mets finally getting a win on Saturday.
The Mets' SS Francisco Lindor and LF Juan Soto each ripped RBI triples, and CF A.J. Ewing added 2 RBIs in a 2-for-4 afternoon.
The Phillies' LHP Jesús Luzardo makes his 17th start, with a 6-4 record and 4.00 ERA, while the Mets' LHP Cionel Perez makes his first career start.
Luzardo has a 1.30 WHIP, 2.9 BB/9 and 10.7 K/9 in 92 1/3 innings, and is 6-2 with a 3.27 ERA against the Mets in his career.
The Phillies are -150 on the moneyline, with the Mets at +125, and the over/under is set at 8.
The Mets are coming off a 9-3 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on July 1, and are currently 14th in the National League with a 36-51 record.
And the Phillies have the better lineup and starter, with Luzardo expected to control the game.
So the Mets will need to improve their offense, which remains near the bottom of the league, to have a chance at winning.
But the Mets' win on Saturday shows they are capable of beating the Phillies, and they will look to build on that momentum.
The game is set to start at 1:40 p.m. ET at Citi Field, with the Mets seeking to improve their record and move up in the standings.
