Slumping Mets return home to face surging Giants

The New York Mets returned home Wednesday night after achieving a feat that was as unusual as it was frustrating. Awaiting them are the San Francisco Giants, who are coming off one of the most unique series wins of the century. The Mets will look to snap out of an extended swoon Friday when they host the Giants in the opener of a three-game series. Right-hander Christian Scott (0-2, 4.32 ERA) is slated to start for the Mets against left-hander Kyle Harrison (4-1, 3.60) in a battle of rookies.
