**Mets Hit the Road After Sweeping Angels, Face Giants in Crucial West Coast Series**

**New York, NY –** Riding high after a dominant sweep of the Los Angeles Angels, the New York Mets (59-44) are heading west for a crucial six-game road trip against National League West opponents. The Mets will first face the San Francisco Giants (54-49) for a three-game series, followed by a series against a TBD opponent. This road trip is crucial as the Mets leapfrogged the Phillies for first place in the NL East.

The Mets are coming off a confidence-boosting homestand after securing their place at the top of the NL East.

However, they face a tough challenge in San Francisco. They have struggled at Oracle Park in recent years, having not won a series there since 2018. The Giants currently sit in third place in the NL West and are in the hunt for a Wild Card spot. The Giants are led offensively by Matt Chapman, while their pitching staff boasts a strong starting rotation and bullpen.

A key storyline for the Mets is the recent struggles of Francisco Lindor, who recently snapped a career-worst 0-for-31 slump. Lindor’s performance since returning from a toe injury has been significantly below his usual standards, and the team will need him to regain his form if they hope to make a deep playoff run.

On the pitching side, the Mets will look to their starters like Kodai Senga and Frankie Montas to continue their strong performances. However, Senga did get roughed up in the opening game of the series vs the Angels, giving up four runs in three innings. Edwin Díaz, the team’s closer, has been lights out and will be counted on to secure late-inning leads.

The Mets will need to bring their momentum from the Angels series to compete against a tough Giants team on the road. The success of this West Coast swing could be pivotal in their quest for a division title and a playoff berth.
