If you like crisp baseball and you missed this game, consider yourself fortunate. In a game where not much was expected because the Mets were throwing Trevor Williams into an impossible situation, the Mets failed to reach even those modest goals, as they fell to the Diamondbacks, 5-2, Saturday night in Arizona. Williams didn’t get [...]
The Mets’ speed proved more deadly than the Diamondbacks’ power, as they survived losing a 4-run lead before winning in extra innings, 6-5, in the opener Friday night in Arizona. Brandon Nimmo gave the speed boost early, as he reached base on a hustle double and scored on a bloop from Pete Alonso. Nimmo then [...]
On a picturesque mid 50’s sunny afternoon in the middle of spring break in the Big Apple, the Giants and Mets played the last game of a four game series. Carlos Carrasco was on the mound for the Mets and Anthony Discalfani for the Giants. The Giants lead off hitter, Mike Yastrzemski, led off the [...]
The Mets fell behind early and while they battled back nicely against a Giants’ bullpen that stymied them in two games on Tuesday, they could not complete the comeback, as they fell, 5-1 Wednesday night at Citi Field. Chris Bassitt started and gave up three runs before the Mets came to bat. He’d give up [...]
Last year the Giants were 5-1 against the Mets, winning three games by one run and another by two. Tuesday night the Mets flipped the switch, taking the opener, 5-4, and the nightcap, 3-1.

It was the third shutout of the season and the win gave the Mets the series, the third win in as many tries to begin the season. The [...]
The Mets got another good outing from a starting pitcher. But a leaky bullpen and an offense that was missing in action for most of the game led to a 3-2 loss to the Diamondbacks Saturday afternoon in Citi Field. Carlos Carrasco pitched five shutout innings and fanned eight. However, a high pitch count kept [...]
Francisco Lindor homered from both sides of the plate, part of a four-homer attack, to back the strong pitching of Chris Bassitt to lead the Mets to a 10-3 win over the Diamondbacks in the team’s home opener Friday afternoon at Citi Field. Lindor hit a 2-run shot in the fifth inning and he delivered [...]
Pete Alonso had two doubles and a homer, finishing with five RBIs, as he powered the Mets to a 9-6 win over the Phillies Wednesday afternoon in Philadelphia. The Mets take the series and finish the road trip in first place with a 5-2 record. It was supposed to be a pitcher’s duel with a [...]
The Mets bounced back from yesterday’s fiasco, as four pitchers combined on a shutout, leading the Mets to a 2-0 win Tuesday night in Philadelphia. Tylor Megill pitched well in his second straight game, throwing 5.1 scoreless innings. He wasn’t quite as dominating as he was on Opening Day but given both the opponent and [...]

The Mets had a 4-0 lead heading into the eighth. Taijuan Walker was sharp in two innings before having to [...]
