WASHINGTON — The Mets hope to avoid the low point of a sweep at the hands of the Nationals here this afternoon when Tim Redding takes the hill in the final road game of the season.

The Mets have been an error-filled mess in the first two games of this series, prompting Jerry Manuel to label their play “embarrassing” after Tuesday’s 4-3 loss.

Redding, who is 3-0 with a 2.08 ERA in five career games against his former team, will face Long Island native John Lannan. The Nationals left-hander is 9-13 with a 3.93 ERA this season.

Here is the 67-91 Mets’ order for the 4:35 p.m game:

Angel Pagan LF

Anderson Hernandez 2B

David Wright 3B

Carlos Beltran CF

Jeff Francoeur RF

Fernando Tatis 1B

Omir Santos C

Wilson Valdez SS

Tim Redding RHP (3-6, 5.29)
