The Los Angeles Dodgers welcome the New York Mets to Dodger Stadium for a four-game series beginning Thursday night. The Dodgers look to snap a four-game losing streak, facing a team that snapped their own four-game losing streak on Wednesday.
The Mets scored 17 runs in a win on Wednesday, which is two more runs than the Dodgers have scored in their last 10 games combined.
Chris Capuano gets the start for the Dodgers on Thursday night, looking to build on the success that has seen him allow just two runs in 14 innings in his last two starts, with one walk and 16 strikeouts. Chris Young gets the call on the mound for the Mets, making his fifth start of the season.
