Francisco Lindor and Brandon Nimmo continue to prove why they should have made the All-Star game, as each homered to power the Mets to a 7-5 win over the Nationals Tuesday night. The Mets are now 6-2 against their NL East rival this season. It was a rematch of last week’s pitcher’s duel between Jose [...]
It’s hard to decide which one is more infuriating – the way the Mets handle their pitchers or Gary Cohen’s defense of that plan. Regardless, the former – over this entire season in general and this series in particular – directly and majorly contributed to an 8-2 loss to the Pirates Monday in the conclusion [...]
After blowing the lead in the bottom of the eighth inning, the Met scored two runs in the ninth to earn a 3-2 win over the Pirates Sunday afternoon in Pittsburgh. The win brought the Mets back to .500 for the season and raised their record against Pittsburgh this year to 5-1. After neither team [...]
It was a picture-perfect day in Pittsburgh, with a brilliant blue sky and puffy white clouds. And while it was a little rocky getting there, Edwin Diaz picked up the save in the ninth inning, giving the Mets a 5-2 win. The victory snapped a 3-game losing streak and got the Mets back to within [...]
If you’re a Pirates fan who likes home runs, this was the game for you! Pittsburgh cracked seven homers en route to a 14-2 win over the Mets Friday night. Luis Severino started and gave up 3 HR and 7 ER in 6 IP. And somehow it got worse. Jake Diekman gave up a homer [...]
Jose Quintana pitched seven shutout innings. Normally, that would be the lede to a game-winner for the Mets. But as good as Quintana pitched, the Mets’ offense was equally bad. They were one-hit in the game and the result was a 1-0 loss to the Nationals Thursday morning/afternoon in D.C. After taking the first two [...]
Okay, was I the only one who thought if we take this game we take the series? Or that we all knew Christian Scott would throw a good game? Probably not. Scott threw 5 2/3 innings, giving up six hits, four earned runs, two walks and two K, with 99 pitches, 65 of which he [...]
For the third straight day, the Mets played an extra-inning game. For the third straight day, the visitors put up a big crooked number to win. And for the second day in a row it was the Mets, who scored five runs and emerged with a 7-2 win over the Nationals. The victory upped their [...]
The Mets scored six runs in the top of the 10th inning and it still wasn’t enough for stress-free bottom of the inning. It was, however, enough for the Mets to hold on and claim a 9-7 win in the opener of a four-game series in Washington Monday night. It didn’t look like the game [...]
The Mets rallied from a four-run deficit to force extra innings but they missed a chance to win it in the 10th and got beat up in the 11th, resulting in a 10-5 loss to the Astros Sunday. The loss means the Mets are under .500 at 40-41 at the halfway point of the season. [...]
The Mets got off to a strong start and the chatter was lively and lots of fun. We forgot that there was nine innings in the game and we had no closer. Frambler Valdez who had been 2-0 against the Mets had trouble finding the strike zone issuing three walks, allowing six runs and getting [...]
After sweeping the cross town Yankees, the Mets welcomed the hottest team in baseball to Citi Field, the Astros, who had strung together seven straight wins to get themselves back to .500. Jose Quintana muddled his way through four innings throwing 93 pitches with only 54 strikes. He was touched for a Jose Altuve HR [...]
