Watch New York Mets Vs. Washington Nationals Stream Live: Battle Of Aces, Jacob deGrom Vs. Max Scherzer

The New York Mets, after seeming to fall out of the National League Wild Card race with a six-game losing streak in late August, are now attempting to climb back into contention, with wins in three of their last four. They won the opener of a three-game set against their divisional rivals and Wild Card leaders, the Washington Nationals, on Monday behind a brilliant seven innings of shutout ball, with only three hits and 10 strikeouts, by righty Noah Syndergaard, per CBS Sports.

As the Mets try to make it back-to-back wins over the Nats on Tuesday, they send staff ace and 2018 CY Young Award winner Jacob deGrom to the mound. But this time, Washington counters with their own ace, future Hall-of-Famer Max Scherzer, a three-time Cy Young winner. Scherzer may, however, be on a limited pitch count, per MLB.com as he continues to recover from a back injury, giving deGrom and the Mets a possible upper hand in the game that will live stream from the nation’s capital.
