Justin Verlander was terrific and the Mets cruised to a 5-1 win over the White Sox Wednesday night at Citi Field. It’s the Mets’ ninth win in their last 13 games and having already clinched a series win, they’ll go for the sweep Thursday afternoon. Verlander did not allow a baserunner the first three innings [...]
Francisco Alvarez hit two 2-run homers, part of a four-homer attack, as the Mets built an 11-4 lead and hung on for an 11-10 win over the White Sox Tuesday night at Citi Field. Alvarez and Brett Baty delivered back-to-back homers in the first inning, part of a five-run inning, the most runs the Mets [...]
Max Scherzer finally pitched like an ace and the offense did just enough to push home the winning run in the 10th inning, lifting the Mets to a 2-1 victory Sunday afternoon against the Dodgers at Citi Field. Scherzer allowed just one hit and no runs in seven innings and he handed the bullpen a [...]
For the fourth game in a row, the offense didn’t get the job done. A close game was lost by the bullpen, as the Mets fell, 5-1, to the Dodgers Saturday night at Citi Field. Kodai Senga struck out nine in six innings and left with the game tied, 1-1. After Brooks Raley got out [...]
Glad I missed this one
Well, if you didn’t particularly like the results from the Wild Card series last year, my hope is that you didn’t watch this game. The Mets continued to make Joe Musgrove look like a Hall of Famer while Max Scherzer continued to serve up gopher balls. The end result was a 6-2 loss in the [...]
The Mets struck out 17 times and the rare ABs where they made contact didn’t fare a lot better, as they fell to the Padres, 3-1, Saturday night in San Diego. The loss snapped a six-game winning streak. The big story was Blake Snell, who absolutely dominated the Mets the first five innings. They put [...]
The Mets rallied from an early 3-1 deficit to force extra innings, plated four runs in the top of the 10th and then hung on for a 7-5 win over the Padres Friday night in San Diego. It was their sixth-straight win, which is the longest winning streak of the year for the club. Once [...]
Carlos Carrasco threw eight shutout innings and Francisco Lindor had a 5-hit game to lead the Mets to a 9-0 win over the Diamondbacks and a sweep of the three-game series in Arizona. The Mets have now won five straight games, tying their longest winning streak of the season. It’s the third time this year [...]
The Mets rallied for two runs in the ninth inning after two were out to earn a 2-1 win over the Diamondbacks Wednesday night in Arizona. It was the Mets’ fourth-straight win. With Andrew Chafin and his 2.83 ERA on the mound looking to lock down the save, Francisco Alvarez had a 2-2 count and [...]
Beggars can’t be choosers. You’d like to think that with Max Scherzer pitching on a day that the offense scored eight runs, you wouldn’t have to use all four of your best relievers. But that’s what happened. Hey, at least the Mets won, as they downed the D’Backs, 8-5, Tuesday afternoon in Phoenix. It was [...]
It took a few innings but the Mets’ offense got untracked and delivered eight runs on 11 hits. And for a change, the pitching bent but did not break. The end result was an 8-4 victory over the Giants, which gave the Mets their first series win since May. The Mets put up crooked numbers [...]
