New York Mets, Miami Marlins announce Friday lineups; Marte returns, Escobar still out
The New York Mets open a four-game home series against the Miami Marlins on Friday night.
First pitch is set for 7:10 p.m. at Citi Field. The game will be broadcast on SNY in New York.
Carlos Carrasco (7-2, 3.93) will start for New York.
The Mets (42-23) lead the National League East by 4½ games, while the Marlins (28-33) are in fourth place and 12 games back.
Eduardo Escobar, who missed Thursday's game due to what Buck Showalter called a "non-workplace event," remains out of Friday's lineup. Starling Marte (forearm contusion), who was hit by a pitch Wednesday, is back in the lineup – betting second and playing right field.
Here are the lineups announced by the teams on Friday afternoon:
