Mets host Giants for three-game series at Citi Field

The New York Mets host the San Francisco Giants for a three-game series beginning Friday, September 4, at Citi Field. New York enters the weekend with a 63-77 record, while San Francisco arrives at 58-83. The Mets recently returned from a road trip to Tampa Bay, shifting their focus toward evaluating a young starting rotation that includes Nolan McLean, Zac Thornton, and Christian Scott. The Giants, currently navigating a difficult season, will start Matt Wilkinson on Friday, followed by Anthony Molina on Saturday. Sunday's finale features Christian Scott for the Mets with the Giants yet to name a starter. This series serves as an opportunity for the Mets to continue testing their remade bullpen and developing their rookie pitching core.
