Mets begin series against Marlins as playoff race continues

The New York Mets arrive at loanDepot Park for a series against the Miami Marlins beginning Monday, September 7. The Mets enter the set after winning a series against the San Francisco Giants, while the Marlins remain in contention for a National League Wild Card spot despite trailing multiple teams. Jonah Tong starts for New York on Monday, marking his first rotation appearance of the season after pitching in relief during May and June. Eury Pérez takes the mound for Miami as he looks to improve upon a difficult stretch of starts. The Mets previously held a spoiler role in late-season matchups against Miami during the 2007 and 2008 seasons. Miami currently sits four games back from a postseason berth.
