The Mets will be trying to extend their winning streak to three this afternoon when journeyman Nelson Figueroa takes on the Cubs at Citi Field in the second game of a three-game series.

Figueroa is making his fifth start of the season and is coming off his best outing of the year last Sunday at Wrigley Field, where the right-hander struck out a career-high 10 while allowing just one run and six hits over seven innings of a Met victory.

Figueroa, who is 0-2 with a 10.79 ERA at home this season, will take on Rich Harden. The veteran righty has been a disappointment this season, posting an 8-8 record and 4.19 ERA.

Here is the 61-74 Mets’ order for the 1:10 p.m. game:

Angel Pagan CF

Luis Castillo 2B

David Wright 3B

Daniel Murphy 1B

Jeff Francoeur RF

Cory Sullivan LF

Josh Thole C

Anderson Hernandez SS

Nelson Figueroa RHP (2-3, 4.50)
