Marlins vs. Mets: Game 97 Thread

The Marlins picked up a big win in yesterday's bout versus the Mets, and are looking to win yet another series and get some distance in the wild card standings.

Miami will be going with its young righty Jose Urena (1-1) today. It's Urena's second start of the season and second appearance of his career versus the Mets. He gave up just four hits in 5.2 innings on July 19, versus the Phillies and will look for another solid outing in this one. He last pitched against the Mets September 5 of last year, when he came out of the bullpen. He recorded three straight ground-ball outs in one inning.

New York will be throwing Steven Matz (7-6) on the mound in hopes of cutting the Marlins lead in the wild card. Matz started the year phenomenally, but has gone 0-5 in his last eight starts. Most of that is due to the run support not being there, but the young lefty has given up a home run in each of his last six appearances. He allowed eight hits and four runs in his last start on July 18, versus the Cubs.

First pitch is scheduled for 1:10.
