The three victories mark the first time that the Mets have won consecutive games since they won nine in a row during the first two weeks of the season. The Mets will look to extend their latest winning streak to four as they begin a three game set with the National League East&#8217;s last place team, the Miami Marlins (17-29). First pitch for tonight&#8217;s series opener is scheduled for 7:10 pm at Citi Field.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_816193\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-816193\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img alt=\"5\/21\/18 Game Preview: Miami Marlins at New York Mets\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-816193\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.usatodaysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/95\/2018\/05\/usatsi_10845850.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"741\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-816193\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">May 20, 2018; New York City, NY, USA; New York Mets shortstop Amed Rosario (1) is congratulated by left fielder Brandon Nimmo (9) after hitting a solo home run against the Arizona Diamondbacks during the sixth inning ODAY Sports<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Mets will send lefty Jason Vargas (0-3, 13.86 ERA) to the mound tonight. Vargas last pitched on May 8th, when he gave up four runs in four innings of work in a loss to the Cincinnati Reds. The Mets utilized a pair of off days last week to skip Vargas&#8217; turn in the rotation, allowing him to throw a simulated game to try and figure out what has gone wrong for him so far this season. The Marlins will counter with rookie right hander Elieser Hernandez (0-0, 2.25 ERA). Hernandez made his first big league start last Wednesday and pitched well, holding the Los Angeles Dodgers to one run in five innings of work. Unfortunately for Hernandez, he didn&#8217;t factor in the decision as the Marlins won 6-5 with an offensive outburst after he departed the contest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Local Coverage:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Television:<\/strong> SNY<\/p>\n<p><strong>Radio:<\/strong> WOR<\/p>\n<p><strong>New York Mets Lineup:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>LF Brandon Nimmo<\/li>\n<li>2B Asdrubal Cabrera<\/li>\n<li>RF Jay Bruce<\/li>\n<li>CF Michael Conforto<\/li>\n<li>1B Adrian Gonzalez<\/li>\n<li>C Devin Mesoraco<\/li>\n<li>3B Luis Guillorme<\/li>\n<li>SP Jason Vargas<\/li>\n<li>SS Amed Rosario<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Pre-Game Notes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Vargas has faced the Marlins once in his career, going 0-1 with a 6.00 ERA after giving up four runs in six innings of work.<\/li>\n<li>The Mets went just 4-5 against the Marlins at Citi Field in 2016, a record they will look to improve on this season.<\/li>\n<li>After sitting out of yesterday&#8217;s game and delivering a dramatic pinch hit homer, Asdrubal Cabrera is back in the Mets&#8217; lineup.
