'High energy' expected as Mets, Phillies open series
On Sunday afternoon, the New York Mets completed their first four-game sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals since 1986. The historical comparisons will be of the far more recent variety for the Mets on Monday night, when they host the Philadelphia Phillies in the opener of a three-game series. Tylor Megill (2-2, 1.40 ERA) is slated to start for the Mets against fellow right-hander Aaron Nola (0-4, 6.65). The Mets remained hot after Brandon Nimmo laced a tiebreaking RBI single in the seventh inning of a 7-4 win over the Cardinals on Sunday, while the Phillies missed a chance to sweep the Miami Marlins when they squandered a three-run lead in a 7-5 loss in 10 innings.

New York swept four games from St. Louis this weekend and established a two-game lead over Philly in the NL East.

The third alternative is someone simply dominating at the minor league level who needs to see if he can perform similarly against the best players in the game already in the majors. The Mets, however, are in a different situation entirely. Starting with the easiest choice, Francisco Alvarez has already caught in back-to-back games in the minors and appears ready to return to his role with the big club. You really do have to take your hat off to salute the jobs done by backups Luis Torrens and Hayden Senger.
