NEW YORK — Despite a slow start to their return home on Friday night, the Mets offense found a rhythm late.

Now, the Mets will go for the series victory at 4:10 p.m. on Saturday afternoon at Citi Field.
NY Mets, Nationals probable starting pitchers for Saturday
Sean Manaea will be looking to record a fifth straight quality start on Saturday.
The veteran left-hander struck out a season-high 11 batters across seven innings while allowing one earned run on three hits in his last start against the Pirates.
Manaea is 4-5 with a 4.13 ERA and 1.32 WHIP in 25 appearances, including 11 starts.
The Nationals will go with Brad Lord, who has worked predominantly in a bulk bullpen role this season. He threw 51 pitches and allowed one earned run in 2⅔ innings in his last outing against the Reds.
Lord is 5-2 with a 3.80 ERA and 1.18 WHIP in 29 appearances.
