The Dodgers faced another setback as their game against the Mets in New York on Monday was postponed due to rain. The teams will now play a double-header at Citi Field on Tuesday, followed by the conclusion of the series on Wednesday.
Tyler Glasnow is set to start Game 1 of Tuesday’s double-header at 1:10 p.m. PDT, with Gavin Stone taking the mound for Game 2 of the traditional single-admission double-header. James Paxton will pitch on Wednesday, marking his first start this season on normal rest.
The Dodgers arrived in New York amidst a five-game losing streak, with a 7-9 record in their last 16 games. The team’s offense has struggled, averaging just 3.5 runs per game since their losing streak began on May 10, ranking sixth-fewest in the majors during that period. Despite this, the Dodgers maintain a comfortable 5 ½ game lead in the National League West.
Injured pitchers Bobby Miller and Evan Phillips began a rehab assignment with single A Rancho Cucamonga on Sunday. Miller, out since early April, gave up three runs in a three-inning start, while Phillips had a scoreless inning of relief.
