Last Sunday, the Mets pitched a shutout and won 2-0. For a second it looked like they were going to win with an even higher degree of difficulty, as they took a 1-0 lead into the seventh inning. But the Reds tied it in the seventh and scored two more in the ninth. And since [...]
When you're 9-1 in your last 10 and your team is winning games because Jose Quintana is pitching 6.2 scoreless innings and Harrison Bader is hitting a home run, it’s difficult not to get swept up in things and believe that this could be a special season. Now, if they can score more than two [...]
Jose Quintana pitched 6.2 scoreless innings to pick up his 100th career win while lifting the Mets to a 4-0 victory over the Reds Saturday afternoon in Citi Field. It was the ninth-straight win for the Mets, who moved within half a game of the Diamondbacks for the second Wild Card spot, as Houston skunked [...]
Mark Vientos hit two-run homers in the first and 10th innings to power the Mets to a 6-4 win over the Reds Friday night at Citi Field. It was the eighth-straight win for the Mets, who are now 28-18 since the All-Star break. Sean Manaea was twice staked to two-run leads and both times he [...]
Even though the Mets didn’t play on Thursday, it was a very good day for them. That’s because the three teams they’re chasing in the Wild Card derby all lost. And the Braves’ defeat put them in a tie with the Mets, with both squads sporting a 76-64 record. MLB used to have a tie-breaking [...]
Jesse Winker hit a grand slam, the bullpen was terrific and the Mets added on a bunch of runs late thanks to some lousy Red Sox pitching. It all added up to an 8-3 win Wednesday night at Citi Field. The Mets swept the series and have now won seven in a row, tying their [...]
Remember back in May when the Mets lost three straight games in which they hit three home runs because the pitching was so bad? It was something that had happened only four times previously in MLB history. Well, the Mets here in the second half don’t lose when they hit three homers. And that’s what [...]
Brandon Nimmo has been a model of consistency the past three seasons. Coming into this year, Nimmo posted OPS+ marks of 131, 130 and a 128 in 2023. Which makes this year’s 113 mark disappointing. In previous seasons where he didn’t reach that level, there were stretches where he didn’t hit for power, typically coming [...]
Luis Severino pitched perhaps his best game as a Met, leading the team to a 4-1 win over the Red Sox Monday night at Citi Field. The victory pushed the Mets to 10 games over .500 and within a half game of the idle Braves for the final Wild Card spot. Severino came out extremely [...]

For the seventh-straight Sunday, the Mets failed to reach three runs scored. But today it was enough, as Sean Manaea and two relievers combined on a shutout, leading the Mets to a 2-0 victory. It was the seventh shutout this year for the Mets, who ended the road trip at 7-3. They’re now a season’s-best [...]
The Mets have won three games in a row and are 9-4 in their last 13 games. This mini spurt has gotten them within two games of the third Wild Card spot. But the remaining schedule is not easy. The final 26 games include 16 versus teams over .500, including a closing stretch of three [...]
