Dodgers’ Double-Header vs. Mets in New York: A Battle for Streak Reversal Amid Injuries and Offensive Struggles

Dodgers’ scheduled Monday game against Mets postponed due to inclement weather

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.
