Since moving into Nationals Park in 2008, Washington is just a game over .500 (38-37) when facing the Mets there, compared to 47-31 versus the Mets in New York. The two clubs have split six games overall this season, with each going 2-1 at the other's home park.

The Mets haven't mustered more than eight hits in any of their past nine games, during which time they've batted .197 as a team. They've been limited to no more than two runs on 29 occasions in 2016, the third-highest total by any offense.

The Nationals ended a seven-game losing streak with a 3-2 victory at Milwaukee on Sunday. It was just the fourth time since moving to Washington in 2005 that the Nationals won despite collecting at least seven fewer hits than their opponent (four hits for Washington versus 11 by the Brewers on Sunday).

Noah Syndergaard makes his first start since feeling elbow discomfort last Wednesday. While Syndergaard ranks second in the majors this season with 9.17 strikeouts per walk allowed (minimum 1.0 IP per team game), his rate is 18.33 (55 strikeouts, three walks) over eight appearances (seven starts) since May 17.

After posting a 0.79 ERA in April and a 3.32 ERA in May, Joe Ross' mark is over five (5.01) in June. Nevertheless, Ross boasts a record of 3-0 over six starts since May 26. He also hasn't allowed more than one home run in any of 14 outings this season.

Former Met Daniel Murphy has hit in all six games against his former teammates this season, including multi-hit performances in each of the last four meetings. Murphy enters this series leading the majors in batting average with a mark of .349 (minimum 3.1 PA per team game).

WASHINGTON -- The starting rotation of the New York Mets was a strength going into the 2016 season.
Now it is officially a concern following updates Tuesday on left-hander Steven Matz and right-hander Noah Syndergaard, who lasted just three innings on Monday in Washington against the Nationals.

Mets-Nationals Preview

WASHINGTON (AP)  Calm and collected on the outside, Lucas Giolito was so anxious about making his major league debut that he kept going into manager Dusty Baker's office to ask when the game would start.
Rain delayed it almost an hour and then cut Giolito's outing short, but when he was on the mound he was dominant as the Washington Nationals beat the New York Mets 5-0 on Tuesday night. Baseball's top pitching prospect allowed just one hit, struck out one and walked two in four scoreless innings and made the most of his start despite the weather.
