Jacob deGrom was very good in his return to the mound but neither the “B” relievers nor the offense did much to further the cause, as the Mets had their seven-game win streak snapped with a 5-1 loss to the Nationals Tuesday night in Washington. Some wondered if deGrom would try to ease off the [...]
On paper it looked like a mismatch, with the Mets throwing the still-great Max Scherzer and the Nationals countering with the now-toast Patrick Corbin. And while Scherzer struggled a little bit, the result was as expected, as the Mets came away with a 7-3 win in the opener of the three-game series in Washington D.C. [...]
The Mets scored three runs in the top of the first and cruised to a 9-3 win over the Marlins Sunday, sweeping the three-game series in Miami. The Mets are riding a six-game winning streak and now sit with a 64-37 record. Francisco Lindor, Jeff McNeil and Mark Canha each had 3-hit games, as the [...]
The Mets used a variation of the old Earl Weaver theme, riding pitching defense and three homers to a 4-0 win over the Marlins Saturday night in Miami. It was the fifth-straight win for the Mets and ran their season record to 63-37 Carlos Carrasco was on target all night, as he allowed just four [...]
Brandon Nimmo and Starling Marte combined for four of the Mets’ eight extra-base hits, powering the Mets to a 6-4 win over the Marlins Friday night in Miami. The Mets caught Marlins ace Sandy Alcantara on a rare off night and they chased him after scoring four runs in five innings. And while the Mets [...]
Max Scherzer was terrific and after a bullpen meltdown in the eighth inning, the Mets scored in the bottom of the ninth on an RBI single by Starling Marte to beat the Yankees, 3-2, and sweep the two-game series. Scherzer mostly cruised thru the first four innings and then had to work harder in his [...]
The Mets broke out the long ball, hitting two homers and three doubles to power their way to a 6-3 win over the Yankees Tuesday night at Citi Field. After falling behind, 2-0, in the top of the first, the Mets responded with a four-run bottom of the inning. Starling Marte hit a one-out solo [...]
Pete Alonso got the Mets back on the winning track with two big extra-base hits, leading the Mets to an 8-5 win over the Padres Sunday night at Citi Field. Trailing 1-0, Alonso came up in the sixth inning with two men on and unloaded a homer to left field to give the Mets their [...]
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before – the Mets mustered very little offense and a questionable/blown call by the home plate umpire led to a home run by the other team. This one led to a two-run homer, as the Padres downed the Mets, 2-1, Saturday night at Citi Field. Chris Bassitt pitched [...]
Yu Darvish shut down the Mets for the second time in as many starts this year, leading the Padres to a 4-1 win over the Mets Friday night at Citi Field. Darvish throws as many pitches as Chris Bassitt and the Mets couldn’t do anything against any of them for most of the night. He [...]
With a chance to sweep a four-game series and add a game to their lead for the All-Star break, the Mets instead gave up two runs in the eighth inning and suffered a 3-2 loss Sunday afternoon in Chicago. Drew Smith surrendered the runs in the eighth and took the loss. Just as important, he [...]
It was the opposite of pretty but the Mets won two games in extra innings on Saturday, sweeping a doubleheader from the Cubs in Chicago, a place where they haven’t fared particularly well the past half dozen years or so. Pete Alonso came up big in extra innings in both games. He hit a sacrifice [...]
