Nationals Park
Steven Matz, LH (0-1, 3.18, 10 Ks) - New York Mets
Patrick Corbin, LH (0-0, 1.42, 8 Ks) - Washington Nationals
METS: Like rotation-mate Jacob deGrom, Matz has featured some of the hardest velocities of his career so far this season. He credits it to work he did at home in Nashville during MLB's COVID-19 shutdown.
NATIONALS: The Nats will be back in action after having their weekend series vs. the Marlins postponed. Corbin will be on the bump for the first time since July 26, when he limited the Yanks to one run over 6 1/3 innings in a no-decision.BOXSCORE

Nationals Park
Rick Porcello, RH (0-1, 13.50, 6 Ks) - New York Mets
Max Scherzer, RH (0-1, 2.84, 21 Ks) - Washington Nationals
METS: It's been a rough go so far for Porcello, who has allowed 11 runs (nine earned) in his first six innings as a Met. One of the biggest problems has been uncharacteristic for the veteran: an average of a walk per inning. NATIONALS: Scherzer, who threw a no-hitter against the Mets in 2015, is 10-5 with a 2.63 ERA in 20 career starts facing them. This season, he has recorded 21 strikeouts in just two starts. BOXSCORE
