The Mets will look to even their series against the Phillies tonight at Citizens Bank Park at 7:05 PM.

Despite the loss last night, the Mets are already 3-1 against the Phillies this season, and have found a lot of success against Philadelphia in recent years. Here’s a look at that success:

  • The Mets have won eight of their last nine series in Philadelphia since 2012, going 21-8 in those games.
  • They are 55-47 all-time at Citizens Bank Park, the best record for any visiting National League team.
  • The Mets went 13-6 against the Phillies last year and 8-2 in Philadelphia last year, it’s second-best single-season record in Philadelphia (8-1 at Veterans Stadium in 1972).
  • Jon Niese is starting for the Mets tonight – the club is 6-0 in his last six starts against the Phillies, and he is 4-0 with a 1.87 ERA during those games.
