deGrom tossed six and third scoreless innings against the Phillies in his last start. He is 2-0 with a 1.67 ERA in four starts against the Marlins.
Lineups
Marcell Ozuna starts in center field, with Martin Prado in the cleanup spot. Jarrod Saltalamacchia is in the lineup after J.T. Realmuto saw time behind the plate since being promoted.
Miami has had difficulty scoring runs consistently to this point in the season, but will look to change that in game three of the four game set.
Notes
- Giancarlo Stanton has homered in each of his last five games against the Mets, dating back to last season.
- Miami is second in the National League in steals with nine.
- Martin Prado is a .290 hitter in New York.
