The Mets are looking to stave off their calamitous spiral as they take on the Phillies in Game 2 of their three-game series at Citizens Bank Park. Carlos Mendoza's contingent has now lost seven-straight games and have surrendered the lead of the NL East to Philadelphia after Friday night's 10-2 loss.
Griffin Canning would have the tough task of limiting the Philly offense amid an expected raucous reception on the road. In three starts in June, Canning has posted a 1-1 record and a 5.74 ERA across 15 2/3 innings.

Mets vs. Phillies recent form and records
The Metropolitans are on the brink of collapse, having been embroiled in a seven-game skid that started on June 13 against the Rays. They now possess a 45-31 record and the second spot in the NL East.
On the other hand, the Phils were gifted the top spot in the division thanks to their consistent gameplay despite superstar Bryce Harper's absence and the current downfall of the Mets. The squad has won eight of its last 10 games as it has drastically improved its record to 46-30.
