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.

Much like how the God of Thunder in Greek mythology, Thor, brought thunder to the masses of Athens, Noah Syndergaard would bring a thunderous roar from the Citi Field faithful when he would take the mound.

The New York Mets, most likely thrown off by a nearly two hour long weather delay, fell to the Cincinnati Reds 6-1. Black storm clouds surrounded Citi Field as Jason Vargas took the mound in the first inning of the game. Some may have seen this as an ominous sign, and others see black storm [...]
Things became too close for comfort at one point, but the New York Mets and Noah Syndergaard held on to beat the Cincinnati Reds 6-4. A lot of the excitement in this series was based around the press conference before the game, as it marked the return of former Met Matt Harvey to Citi Field. [...]
Although the massacre that was the 25-4 drubbing at the hands of the Washington Nationals on Tuesday night put a wet towel on things, the Month of July showed a small, but noticeable uptick in play from the team. They finished with a .500 record for the first time since the month of April, at [...]
Zack Wheeler did the heavy lifting today against the Pittsburgh Pirates, as the New York Mets earned a series split against them with a 1-0 victory today in the beautiful PNC Park.
