The New York Mets wrap up their three-game series against the defending World Series champion Houston Astros today at 2:10 p.m. at Minute Maid Park.

After an 11-1 victory in the series opener, the Mets couldn't get much going on offense Tuesday night in a 4-2 loss in Houston. New York mustered just four hits against Astros ace Framber Valdez.

The Mets' Tylor Megill gets the call for the series finale. The 27-year-old right-hander had his best start of the 2023 season his last time out. Megill pitched six innings and allowed just one run on four hits with a season-high seven strikeouts in a 6-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on June 16.

Houston sends Cristian Javier to the bump this afternoon. While his strikeout numbers might be down from a year ago, the 26-year-old has won five of his past seven starts and sports the seventh lowest ERA in the American League this season (2.90).
