The New York Mets are gearing up for their first matchup of the season against rivals Philadelphia Phillies after a successful four-game sweep against the St. Louis Cardinals. Currently boasting a 15-7 record, the Mets are tied for their second-best home start ever, and are benefiting from strong fan support. With emphasis on the energy of the upcoming series, players recognize the significance of each game, especially against a competitive Phillies team that recently suffered a loss to the Marlins.
"I expect it to be high energy. They obviously don't like the way things ended last year and I'm sure they'd like to make a statement right away," Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo said.
"Last year it was not like this (in April). So I appreciate the fans coming out and giving us love and supporting us," star shortstop Francisco Lindor said.
