The New York Mets will face the San Francisco Giants on Sunday afternoon at Citi Field, with Christian Scott taking the mound for the home team. Scott will be making his first appearance in over a week as the Mets carefully manage the right-hander’s workload following his recovery from Tommy John surgery last year. Through 20 starts this season, Scott has compiled a 4-4 record with a 3.80 earned run average and 113 strikeouts across nearly 95 innings pitched.
The Giants will counter with rookie left-hander Cesar Perdomo, who recently made his major league debut in early September. Perdomo was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento, where he posted a 7-2 record before his promotion to the majors. Sunday’s matchup serves as the rubber game of the series, with both teams having split the first two contests at the ballpark.
The Mets claimed Friday’s opener behind a powerful offensive performance, belting five home runs including two from catcher Francisco Alvarez to secure a 10-6 victory. The Giants responded decisively on Saturday, launching six homers of their own en route to a 9-5 win. The 1:40 p.m. first pitch will air on SNY and can be streamed via MLB.TV.
