Inter-league play continues this week with the Indians playing a three-game set with the New York Mets at Progressive Field beginning on Tuesday night, before the Tribe slips over to Pittsburgh to face the slumping Pirates this weekend to open a nine-game road trip, all against NL clubs, with stops in Philadelphia and Cincinnati following the set with Pittsburgh.
↵The Mets come to town having won four in a row and eight games out of ten. New York is in second place in the National League East, a game-and-a-half behind the Atlanta Braves, while Cleveland rests in last place in the AL Central, 10 1/2 games out of first and a game behind Kansas City.
