The Mets get another stab at the Dodgers four days after being swept at home by Los Angeles. New York enters the four-game series after snapping a five-game skid Wednesday with a 12-inning win over the NL West-leading Giants. The Mets rallied for that victory hours after owner Steve Cohen criticized the team’s hitters for a lack of production.

The 2015 NL Cy Young Award winner allowed five runs in 3 1/3 innings before departing with an injured left hamstring.
