The Mets’ offense did next to nothing in Monday’s doubleheader, scoring just one run in 14 innings, but outstanding relief pitching allowed the team to gain a split, as the Mets won the nightcap, 1-0. Brandon Nimmo singled past Dansby Swanson, who seemed to be channeling Brooks Robinson thru most of the twinbill. Then Jeff [...]
The Mets used a four-run sixth inning and another strong bullpen performance to earn a 5-4 win over the Blue Jays to win the rubber series of the match Sunday afternoon at Citi Field. After the Blue Jays scored three runs in the top of the sixth to take a 3-1 lead, the Mets came [...]
The Mets brought a knife to a gun fight, producing 12 singles and two doubles on a night where the Blue Jays hit five homers. The result was a 10-3 beatdown, in the middle game of a three-game series at Citi Field. Down 6-0 in the fifth inning, the Mets put together five consecutive hits [...]
Marcus Stroman gave the Mets everything they could have hoped for, as he went eight innings after the bullpen logged so many frames the past three games. On top of that, Stroman did not allow a run, as the Mets had a rare laugher from start to finish, with a 7-0 win over the Reds [...]
It was going to be a tough go for the Mets tonight with Robert Stock facing off against Wade Miley, who came in at 7-4 with a no-hitter under his belt. The Mets were hoping that Stock could keep them in the game and give them five innings. Instead, he got hurt running out a [...]
It was quite a night. The Mets found out tonight that 7 HR > 4 E’s and a closer who blows a save in his third straight game, as they powered out a 15-11 win in 11 innings over the Reds in Cincinnati Monday night. Back-to-back homers by Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil staked the [...]
After blowing two leads late against the Pirates in the previous six games, it was only fair that the Mets scored two runs in the ninth inning Sunday to salvage the final game of the series, with a 7-6 win. Michael Conforto delivered the game-winning hit with a two-run homer, which drove in Dominic Smith. [...]
Last night’s loss was bad because there was seemingly no effort. Tonight’s was even worse, as the Pirates rallied from a 6-0 deficit in the late innings to win on a walkoff grand slam, edging the Mets, 9-7, Saturday night in Pittsburgh. The Pirates put up a five-spot in the eighth inning against Seth Lugo [...]
The best thing about this game was that the rain delay only lasted about 40 minutes. In one of the most uninspiring efforts you could possibly imagine, the Mets fell to the Pirates, 4-1, in the opening game of the second half Friday night in Pittsburgh. The Pirates had a pitcher who didn’t have great [...]
The Pirates scored two runs in the top of the ninth to earn a come-from-behind win over the Mets, 6-5, and claim a split of the four-game series before the All-Star break. For most of the year, the Mets were terrific when they scored first, but both losses in this series happened when the Mets [...]
Stop me if you've heard this one before but the Mets played a doubleheader and split. At least this time they varied the outcome a bit, as they dropped the first game and took the second game of the twinbill against the Pirates Saturday at Citi Field. In the nightcap, Pete Alonso homered and the [...]
The Mets broke open a tie game with a 10-run sixth inning en route to a 13-4 win over the Pirates in the first of a four-game set at Citi Field Friday night. Brandon Nimmo got the big rally going in the sixth inning with a single. Francisco Lindor drew a walk and Dominic Smith [...]
