Washington at NY Mets When: 7:10 PM ET, Thursday, June 15, 2017 Where: Citi Field, New York City, New York By Gracenote If the New York Mets are going to have a chance to chase down the Washington Nationals in the National League East, they’ll need to make up ground in head-to-head competition. The Mets get a chance to do so when they host the Nationals for a four-game series beginning Thursday. The timing is right for the Mets, who have won five of their last six games and catch Washington in its roughest patch of the season thus far. The Nationals have lost five of their last six contests after a 13-2 drubbing in the rubber match of a three-game series against visiting Atlanta on Wednesday. Washington hopes for a quick rebound behind left-hander Gio Gonzalez, who is 9-1 with a 1.62 ERA in 14 starts at Citi Field. Gonzalez has a tough task facing a Mets lineup that has belted 26 home runs in 13 games this month, including eight games with at least two blasts. TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, MLB Network, MASN (Washington), SNY (New York) PITCHING MATCHUP: Nationals LH Gio Gonzalez (5-1, 2.91 ERA) vs. Mets RH Robert Gsellman (5-3, 4.95) Gonzalez is well on his way to his eighth straight season with double-digit wins and has posted three straight quality starts. The 31-year-old didn’t get a decision last time out despite holding Texas to one run and three hits over six innings with a season-high nine strikeouts. Gonzalez has enjoyed pitching against the Mets, going 12-5 with a 2.96 ERA in 21 meetings. Gsellman has won three straight starts and has posted a 2.16 ERA in four outings since rejoining the rotation on May 24. The 23-year-old threw 6 2/3 scoreless innings to beat Atlanta last time out, allowing only three hits and two walks. Gsellman was terrific in two starts against the Nationals last season, giving up one run and 11 hits over 11 2/3 innings in a win and a no-decision. WALK-OFFS: 1. Nationals RF Bryce Harper is 9-for-29 with a home run during a seven-game hitting streak but has lowered his season average one point to .315 over that stretch. 2. Mets OF Juan Lagares is 15-for-38 with five extra-base hits against Gonzalez, but the rest of New York’s active roster is a combined 34-for-170 against the left-hander. 3. Washington 2B Daniel Murphy is batting .384 with seven doubles and eight home runs in 25 games against his former team.

Happy birthday, Dusty! Gnot.

This is a garbage lineup. GARBAGE. [tweet:2yrepiwu]https://twitter.com/Mets/status/875429969392013313[/tweet:2yrepiwu]

Lagares has played very well at bat and in the field. Keep it up! LGM!

A Boy Named Seo Jun 15 2017 11:28 PM Re: IGT 06/15 - WAS at NYM - Big Series, Game 1

We got trouble. Right here in Little Citi.

A Boy Named Seo Jun 15 2017 11:36 PM Re: IGT 06/15 - WAS at NYM - Big Series, Game 1

Wriggled nicely out of that would-be mess.

Obi Juan!

Ashie62 Jun 16 2017 12:08 AM Re: IGT 06/15 - WAS at NYM - Big Series, Game 1

Whew!

Edgy MD Jun 16 2017 12:11 AM Re: IGT 06/15 - WAS at NYM - Big Series, Game 1

Mets need baserunners.

Edgy MD Jun 16 2017 12:23 AM Re: IGT 06/15 - WAS at NYM - Big Series, Game 1

I always get surprised to be blacked out of Nats games. One hit away from tying it up with the tying run on second and TJ making the second out. Show 'em how it's done, Boo.

Frayed Knot Jun 16 2017 12:24 AM Re: IGT 06/15 - WAS at NYM - Big Series, Game 1

We definitely got our pop-out shoes on tonight.

Frayed Knot Jun 16 2017 12:34 AM Re: IGT 06/15 - WAS at NYM - Big Series, Game 1

Gsellman was only going to get away with high wire act for so long. It's all catching up to him now.

Ashie62 Jun 16 2017 12:35 AM Re: IGT 06/15 - WAS at NYM - Big Series, Game 1

Gsell is getting shelled.

Edgy MD Jun 16 2017 12:35 AM Re: IGT 06/15 - WAS at NYM - Big Series, Game 1

Well, Duda holds some of that responsibility.

Frayed Knot Jun 16 2017 12:39 AM Re: IGT 06/15 - WAS at NYM - Big Series, Game 1

Does the team get a volume discount on thumb surgeries?

Edgy MD Jun 16 2017 12:40 AM Re: IGT 06/15 - WAS at NYM - Big Series, Game 1

Two failures to turn two in this five-run inning.

Frayed Knot Jun 16 2017 12:41 AM Re: IGT 06/15 - WAS at NYM - Big Series, Game 1

This game is reaching the level where it might even be Nats bullpen proof.

Edgy MD Jun 16 2017 12:45 AM Re: IGT 06/15 - WAS at NYM - Big Series, Game 1

René Rivera says shut up.

Edgy MD Jun 16 2017 12:47 AM Re: IGT 06/15 - WAS at NYM - Big Series, Game 1

Welcome to 2017, Gavin.

Ashie62 Jun 16 2017 12:48 AM Re: IGT 06/15 - WAS at NYM - Big Series, Game 1

This is frustrating.

Edgy MD Jun 16 2017 12:49 AM Re: IGT 06/15 - WAS at NYM - Big Series, Game 1

Well, Juan Lagares, offensive player, was a nice idea for a while.

Goodbye Mets. Hello Rachel Maddow.

Edgy MD Jun 16 2017 01:16 AM Re: IGT 06/15 - WAS at NYM - Big Series, Game 1

No, man. This is where it gets good.

Edgy MD Jun 16 2017 01:43 AM Re: IGT 06/15 - WAS at NYM - Big Series, Game 1

For instance, two perfect innings with three strikeouts by Rafael Montero. Maybe due to get his first Schaefer PotG of the year.

Edgy MD Jun 16 2017 01:49 AM Re: IGT 06/15 - WAS at NYM - Big Series, Game 1

And Dusty goes to the pen one time too many and Wilmer Flores cuts the lead to 8-3.

Frayed Knot Jun 16 2017 01:50 AM Re: IGT 06/15 - WAS at NYM - Big Series, Game 1

Good thing you had to make a lefty/righty switch with a six run lead and four outs to go in the game, eh Dusty?

Edgy MD Jun 16 2017 01:55 AM Re: IGT 06/15 - WAS at NYM - Big Series, Game 1

Montero retires eight in a row and maybe just got hurt. Because because because.

Edgy MD Jun 16 2017 01:59 AM Re: IGT 06/15 - WAS at NYM - Big Series, Game 1

Five runs, guys. No sweat.

Frayed Knot Jun 16 2017 02:01 AM Re: IGT 06/15 - WAS at NYM - Big Series, Game 1

I'm beginning to think that maybe this comeback ain't gonna happen tonight.

Edgy MD Jun 16 2017 02:02 AM Re: IGT 06/15 - WAS at NYM - Big Series, Game 1

Or go down in order all quiet-like. I guess that's another option.

Fman99 Jun 16 2017 02:11 AM Re: IGT 06/15 - WAS at NYM - Big Series, Game 1

Broken thumb, for fuck's sake. How is this even really a thing?

d'Kong76 Jun 16 2017 02:16 AM Re: IGT 06/15 - WAS at NYM - Big Series, Game 1

Someone may have to break out the Thin Lizzy tomorrow.

Gwreck Jun 16 2017 05:12 AM Re: IGT 06/15 - WAS at NYM - Big Series, Game 1

I'm beginning to worry this might not be the Mets' year.
