The Mets had two big comebacks. Unfortunately, they needed three. One night after a pitcher’s duel, this one was a slugfest, with the Mariners emerging with an 8-7 win Saturday night in Citi Field. David Peterson was unable to match his fine outing from his last time out. Still, Buck Showalter was a little too [...]
Kodai Senga and Logan Gilbert engaged in a pitcher’s duel for seven innings, setting the stage for Francisco Lindor and Daniel Vogelbach to come thru in the eighth, leading the Mets to a 2-1 win over the Mariners Friday night at Citi Field. Senga was terrific. He started off with three hitless innings before serving [...]
In perhaps the most unlikely win of the season, the Mets’ bullpen was lousy but the defense bailed them out and the Mets won on a walkoff HBP to defeat the Rangers, 6-5, in 10 innings Wednesday night. Daniel Vogelbach and DJ Stewart hit back-to-back homers and Brandon Nimmo had an RBI triple to stake [...]
Jose Quintana was terrific but the Rangers started a LHP and then threw a bunch more lefties relievers and the final was a 2-1 loss Tuesday night at Citi Field. Quintana threw six shutout innings and was backed by some strong defense. But things fell apart after he left, with Drew Smith serving up a [...]
The Mets were this close to playing spoilers to the Rangers division and playoff hopes. It seemed like they were about to do so, behind solid starting pitching by Tylor Megill and home runs by Brandon Nimmo and D.J. Stewart, to pad the Mets to an early 3-0 lead. Megill might've pitched his best game [...]
Lindor kept his hitting streak alive
After playing a bunch of blowout-type games recently, the Mets played a nail-biter on Tuesday, falling to the Braves, 3-2, to even the series at a game apiece. Tylor Megill started and allowed 3 ER in 4.2 IP, which is a 5.79 ERA. And he was incredibly fortunate to give up just the three runs. [...]
The Mets brought their hitting shoes with them to Atlanta, as they pounded out 14 hits, including three home runs, and downed the Braves, 10-4, Monday night in the first of a three-game set. David Peterson was staked to a three-run lead early, as DJ Stewart and Rafael Ortega both went deep in the second [...]
Let’s be honest – we both knew the Mets weren’t going to win today and complete the sweep. The only mystery was how the team was going to come up short. And honestly, Buck Showalter leaving Carlos Carrasco in too long and Trevor Gott throwing gasoline on the fire was a little trite. I expected [...]
Kodai Senga allowed just two hits over seven innings and the Mets hit three home runs en route to a 13-2 laugher over the Cardinals Saturday night in St. Louis. The victory gives the Mets the series win and they’ll go for the sweep tomorrow afternoon. The Mets gave Senga an early lead on another [...]
The Mets recalled Joey Lucchesi to give Kodai Senga an extra day of rest between starts. Lucchesi had been on the IL and made two brief rehab starts with Brooklyn. But he came up and did a very nice job, helping lead the Mets to a 7-1 win over the Cardinals Friday night in St. [...]
Pete Alonso homered to back a strong outing from Jose Quintana, leading the Mets to a 4-2 win over the Cardinals in the opening of a four-game series in St. Louis Thursday night. It was the fourth win in the last five games for the Mets. Alonso hit his 37th homer of the season in [...]
