In a game that got extended by both managers making a bevy of tactical moves over the course of the game, the Philadelphia Phillies defeated the New York Mets 5-2. Before the bullpen crew came in and wrecked the game for the Mets, it seemed like starting pitcher Steven Matz would be the headline of [...]
Michael Conforto had a career game and Zack Wheeler completed seven innings to lead the Mets to a 9-4 win over the Phillies Monday night in Philadelphia. Conforto had a two-run single in the fifth, an RBI double in the seventh and a three-run homer in the ninth to lead the offense. It was the [...]
They could have won this game. They should have won this series. But, as has been the case all season, the Mets squandered another quality start from ace Jacob deGrom. deGrom struck out 12 over seven innings of work, but did allow three earned runs, including a two-run home run to Brock Holt. The Mets [...]
Paul Sewald. That's why we lost this game. You can blame the pitcher or the manager for choosing to use him when the game was close, but the moribund reliever was responsible for four of the runs as he got clobbered without even finishing one inning of relief. Otherwise, the Mets played well and could [...]
The New York Mets made a grand entrance to Boston on Friday night, as they slugged their way to an 8-0 victory over the Red Sox. The Mets set a tone for their offensive performance in the first inning of the game, as a Jay Bruce doubled to drive in Michael Conforto. This would be [...]
It was a successful day for the New York Mets, as they swept the Miami Marlins in a double header,4-3 in the first game and 5-2 in the second game. The first game was one packed with power both on the mound and on the plate. The Mets starter for the game was Steven Matz, [...]
What was supposed to be a double header got relinquished to a five-hour-delayed single game following non-stop rain. Zack Wheeler and the Mets didn't seem to let it phase them though as they blew out the Marlins 13-0. Wheeler pitched one of the best games of his career, tossing eight scoreless innings Other than a [...]
On a night of solemn ceremony the Mets had their sites set on helping their ace and continuing their late season surge, but the vexing Miami Marlins had other ideas. Jacob deGrom was sensational as usual, but again, his teammates failed to provide enough support for a win. Not only did they only muster one [...]
On a day where the rain came in buckets, the Mets were able to snag their second consecutive series after they defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 6-4. While the small, drenched crowd that was filling the seats today at Citi Field may have expected Jacob deGrom while they were making their trek to the game today, [...]
The Mets’ offense put up seven runs in the first four innings, allowing a sloppy Noah Syndergaard to post his 11th win of the season, as the Mets downed the Phillies, 10-5, Saturday night at Citi Field. New York used a combination of big hits and bad Philadelphia defense to score early and often. With [...]
Dominic Smith hit a heroic late-inning home run. Rhys Hoskins hit an even more heroic, later one to give the Phillies the first game of this series. The Mets took an early lead when Jay Bruce peppered Aaron Nola's first pitch of the second inning over the right centerfield wall. That didn't last long. Jorge [...]
Thanks in part to the pitching of Zack Wheeler and the stunningly atrocious defense of the Los Angeles Dodgers, the New York Mets were able to defeat the Dodgers 7-3 and take the series two games to one. When Wheeler takes the mound for the Mets, one gets the feeling that the team has a [...]
