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 [...]
Well, all good things must come to an end. So it was with Jason Vargas's recent "hot streak," which crumbled over his ears in the course of three-and-a-third innings. To be fair, though, this wasn't anybody's best night. The Mets actually had a decent lead at the start. Todd Frazier led off the second with [...]
The great Baltimore manager Earl Weaver once famously said "The secret to baseball is simple: starting pitching and three-run homers." The Mets employed that philosophy to a T on Labor Day, 2018. Jacob deGrom opened this series in Los Angeles historically, but inauspiciously. With one out in the bottom of the first, ol' pal Justin [...]
Noah Syndergaard pitched his best game of the season to lead the Mets to a 4-1 win over the Giants for the series win in San Francisco. Syndergaard notched the first complete game of his career and was in command from the first pitch, striking out 11 and allowing just two hits over nine innings. [...]
A combination of effective pitching and timely hitting helped the New York Mets in their efforts of beating the San Francisco Giants 2-1 in 11 innings. On the mound for the Mets in AT&T Park today was the lefty Steven Matz, and he pitched nearly flawless over the seven innings that he was in the [...]
