Dillon Gee allowed three runs and struck out four over five and a third innings in his last start against the Nationals. Gee tossed eight shutout innings in his last start against the Marlins.
Lineups
Garrett Jones remains at first base, with Reed Johnson getting the start in right field. Jeff Mathis will give Jarrod Saltalamacchia a night off behind the plate. Adeiny Hechavarria returns to the lineup after sitting Tuesday out with a shoulder injury.
Kirk Nieuwenhuis gets the start in center field for the Mets.
Notes
-Can Miami take the series? Without Giancarlo Stanton, the Marlins have had trouble putting wins together.
-Will Alvarez finish strong? Although he has struggled to stay healthy, Henderson Alvarez has been Miami's most consistent starter and will look to pitch well in his last few starts.
