Those types of games happen in a 162 game season. It is all about responding well the next night. They will have a chance to do that with an improving Cade Cavalli on the mound. With a lefty on the mound, Blake Butera made a few alterations. James Wood will get off his feet for the first time in a while and get the nod at DH. That means Joey Wiemer will play right field. Curtis Mead will get the start at first base, as he looks to heat up again after cooling off lately. Keibert Ruiz will be the man behind the dish. Cade Cavalli had his best start of the season last time against the Braves, and he will look to follow up that outing in style. The Mets are not making many changes. is still only healthy enough to DH. will start at first, while will play center field. Carson Benge will move back to his natural right field position. is on the mound tonight, and he has had a lot of success against the Nats in his career.
