Pirates at Mets – Friday Lineups, Odds, Pitchers, Broadcast Info

Right-hander Taijuan Walker will take the mound for the Mets in the team’s final series before the All-Star break.

Thunderstorms and flash flood warnings in the New York City area have certainly affected the Mets‘ current homestand. The Amazins had a game canceled and subsequently postponed Thursday night for the second time in three days — thus, the series-opener against the Pirates needed to wait until Friday evening.

Taijuan Walker takes the mound for the Mets at Citi Field to commence what will be the final series before the All-Star break. Will the right-hander make a case to replace Jacob deGrom in the Midsummer Classic?
