Chris Bassitt shook off a recent stretch of poor pitching to throw eight shutout innings, leading the Mets to a 4-0 win over the Brewers Tuesday night at Citi Field. The Brewers came in scuffling and Bassitt attacked them right away with his fastball, setting the tone early. And the Mets’ offense responded in kind, [...]
J.D. Davis and Pete Alonso homered and Edwin Diaz closed the door with a five-out save, leading the Mets to a 4-1 victory over the Angels Sunday night and another series win. The Angels took a 1-0 lead but that was all they would get, as Taijuan Walker used the shadows to come up with [...]
Khalil Lee hit his first homer in the majors but it wasn't nearly enough, as the Angels jumped out to an 8-0 lead and cruised to an 11-6 win Saturday night in Anaheim. Carlos Carrasco alternated between great and awful, as he piled up both strikeouts and extra-base hits allowed. But strikeouts don't mean a [...]
Mark Canha and Brandon Nimmo each had two hits and drove in three runs, as the Mets snapped a two-game losing streak with a 7-3 win over the Angels Friday night in Anaheim. It was the 15th loss in the last 16 games for the Angels. The Mets jumped on top in the second inning [...]
It was a tall order for the Mets to take on Sean Manaea without two of their best righty hitters. And that was further compounded by another poor start from Chris Bassitt. The end result was a 13-2 beatdown from the Padres. This was just the second series loss of the season for the Mets [...]
It hasn't been a great year so far for Yu Darvish but the veteran hurler owned the Mets Tuesday night, as he allowed just two hits over seven shutout innings, to lead the Padres to a 7-0 win over the Mets, which evened the series at a game apiece. Taijuan Walker allowed four runs in [...]
Eduardo Escobar became just the 11th player in Mets history to hit for the cycle, as he drove in six runs and scored three more to lead the Mets to an 11-5 win over the Padres Monday night in San Diego. Things started early for Escobar, as he delivered a two-run single in the first [...]
What an exciting game! The Mets fell behind in the first inning, rallied to take the lead in the eighth, lost it in the ninth, re-took it in the 10th and then had to sweat out a rookie with the go-ahead run at second base. But Adonis Medina got the job done, giving the Mets [...]
We know how long it takes to recover from a cross country flight west – two days. After scuffling with the bats the first two games of the series, totaling just one run in 18 innings, the Mets busted out with nine runs and 13 hits en route to a 9-4 win over the Dodgers [...]
Thursday night, the Mets lost a close game to the Dodgers that appeared like one from 2021. Friday night they got taken behind the woodshed, which seemed more like 2017. The Dodgers won, 6-1, in a game that didn’t feel that close. Chris Bassitt had traffic on the bases nearly every inning and gave up [...]
The Mets pitched well enough to win but their bats were late in arriving from the East Coast, as they fell to the Dodgers, 2-0, in the opening of the four-game series against the first-place Dodgers.
