The Phillies jumped the Mets for six runs in the fourth inning and cruised to a 7-2 win Saturday afternoon in the first of two games between the clubs played in a soccer stadium in London. The loss snapped a three-game winning streak for the Mets. Sean Manaea started for the Mets and looked good [...]
Luis Torrens blasted two homers to back an excellent outing by Luis Severino, lifting the Mets to a 9-1 victory and a three-game sweep of the Nationals Wednesday in Washington. The Mets pulled to within a half a game of the third-place Nats. Torrens opened the scoring with a homer to right center with two [...]
The Mets broke a scoreless tie by putting up crooked numbers in the fourth and fifth innings en route to a 6-3 win over the Nationals Tuesday night in Washington. The victory gives the Mets the series win and the club will go for a sweep Wednesday afternoon. Harrison Bader opened the scoring with a [...]
Tonight, Carlos Mendoza learned – hopefully – that pitching Adam Ottavino in back-to-back days is right up there with, “Never start a land war in Asia.” The Mets took an 8-5 lead into the ninth inning, tried Ottavino and pivoted to Jake Diekman. Somehow, against all odds, Diekman survived and the Mets came away with [...]
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. A Mets’ starter couldn’t go deep in the game and the bullpen couldn’t hold a lead. A two-run homer in the ninth inning lifted the Diamondbacks to a 5-4 win over the Mets, meaning the teams split the four-game series. It marked the seventh straight home series [...]
On the day that Darryl Strawberry had his uniform number retired, he turned into a jinx in the broadcast booth, as the Diamondbacks scored four times while Strawberry chatted with Gary Cohen and his two former teammates and wound up with a 10-5 win Saturday afternoon at Citi Field. Sean Manaea had two very quick [...]
The Mets fell behind, 3-0, before they even came to bat, came storming back to take a 10-5 lead, only to have to white knuckle it in the ninth inning before emerging with a 10-9 win over the Diamondbacks Friday night at Citi Field.

Francisco Lindor had a 4-hit game while J.D. Martinez broke a late tie with a home run to power the Mets to a 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks Thursday night at Citi Field. The win snapped a three-game losing streak and was just the second victory in the last 10 games for the Mets. Lindor [...]
The bullpen blew another game, turning a 3-3 tie into a 10-3 loss Wednesday night against the Dodgers. The loss meant another sweep. But that ignominy paled to what else happened in the game. Pete Alonso was hit on the hand with a pitch in the first inning. When the trainer came out to check [...]
The Mets’ Citi Field offense was on display in all of its hideousness Tuesday in a doubleheader loss to the Dodgers. They couldn’t hold a 2-0 lead and lost in extra innings in the opener, 5-2, and they got shut out in the nightcap, 3-0. Over 19 innings of baseball in the two games, the [...]
Omar Narvaez picked a great time to post his first hit at Citi Field this year, as his RBI single in the bottom of the ninth capped a three-run inning and led to a 4-3 walk-off win against the Giants Sunday afternoon. The victory snapped a five-game losing streak for the Mets. Brandon Nimmo led [...]
After three straight games hitting three home runs, the Mets only hit two on Saturday. Yet it seemed like it was going to be enough, as they took a 2-1 lead into the ninth inning. But Edwin Diaz, pushed back into the closer’s role after pitching in the seventh inning on Friday, did what he [...]
