Rick Porcello gave the Mets their best performance from a starting pitcher since their day off but the bats took the night off, resulting in a 2-1 loss to the Nationals Tuesday night. Porcello gave up a run in each of the first two innings but settled in to go six innings on the night. [...]
If you thought things couldn’t possibly get worse for the Mets after Marcus Stroman opted out earlier in the day, well, you’re wrong. The Mets got smoked by the Nationals, 16-4. Usually in a blowout you say something like, “the best thing is no one got hurt.” But in this blowout, where no one seemingly [...]
Jacob deGrom didn’t have his best stuff but he combined with four Mets relievers to pitch the Mets to a 4-2 win over the Marlins Sunday afternoon at Citi Field. The win gave the Mets the series victory over the first-place Marlins. It was a good first inning for deGrom but he had great trouble [...]
The heart of the order came up big for the Mets, hitting three homers and driving in all eight runs, leading the Mets to an 8-5 win Saturday night over the Marlins at Citi Field. The Mets’ win snapped a six-game winning streak for the Marlins. Michael Conforto got in the act first, smacking a [...]
The Marlins used a four-run second inning to claim a 4-3 win over the Mets Friday night. Miami is now 4-0 in one-run games while New York is 1-3. Michael Wacha started for the Mets and had a strong first inning, hitting 97 mph. But it fell apart for him in the second, as he [...]
The Mets got a strong pitching performance from Rick Porcello and just enough timely hits to earn a 3-1 win over the Nationals Wednesday night. It was the 150th career victory for Porcello. After starting his Mets career with two disastrous outings, Porcello gave up a run after facing just four batters and it looked [...]
The Nationals jumped on top early and held on for a 5-3 win over the Mets Tuesday night in Washington. It was the Mets’ sixth loss in their last seven games. Steven Matz surrendered two homers and five runs in three innings to put the Mets in an early hole. But the bullpen came up [...]
The post-Cespedes 2020 season got off to a good start, as the Mets used a rare offensive outburst behind Jacob deGrom to defeat the Braves, 7-2, and avoid a sweep of the four-game series. The Mets have played seven games against the Braves so far, going 2-0 in deGrom starts and 0-5 in the others. [...]
Yoenis Cespedes went AWOL and the Mets’ offense decided to join him, as they fell for the third straight time to the Braves, this time by a 4-0 margin Sunday afternoon. It was the first time they had been shut out this season. The Mets put runners in scoring position in five of the first [...]
The Mets lost their fourth straight game, dropping a 7-1 decision to the Braves Saturday night in Atlanta. After jumping out to an 8-2 lead on Friday, the Mets fell in a big hole early and never really threatened to make it a game. Michael Wacha allowed five runs in the first two innings. He [...]
My son got a last-minute gig Friday night. I saw the first batter in the bottom of the fifth and when I left, the Mets had an 8-2 lead. You can view the Game Chatter for confirmation if you don't believe me. I blame the rest of you for what happened next.
For the second straight night, the Mets had their chances with the bases loaded late but were unable to cash in. They fell to the Red Sox, 4-2, and ended up the season series with their AL East foe at 2-2. Given the Red Sox’ pitching woes, this is a disappointing result. The Mets are [...]
