The New York Mets are proving their resilience, riding a three-game winning streak into a crucial six-game homestand at Citi Field. Their first challenge? A three-game series opener against the Arizona Diamondbacks, with first pitch moved up to 4:10 p.m. ET today to beat the incoming chilly winds.
This hot streak is even more impressive considering the Mets are doing it without their superstar, Juan Soto. Placed on the injured list with a right calf strain, Soto's absence will test the team's depth for at least the next two weeks. So far, the squad has answered the call, showing they can win with a collective effort.
As the Mets look to extend their streak to four, all eyes will be on how the lineup adjusts. Can the momentum from their West Coast trip carry into Queens? For fans heading to the ballpark or tuning in from home, it's the perfect time to gear up. Whether you're repping the classic blue and orange or the latest City Connect gear, showing your support is part of the game.
The atmosphere at Citi Field is always electric for a homestand, from the buzz at the Home Run Apple to the iconic Mr. Met greeting fans. Today's matchup kicks off a key early-season test against a Diamondbacks team looking to make its own statement. Grab your cap, settle in, and get ready for some baseball.
