Brandon Nimmo and Starling Marte combined for four of the Mets’ eight extra-base hits, powering the Mets to a 6-4 win over the Marlins Friday night in Miami. The Mets caught Marlins ace Sandy Alcantara on a rare off night and they chased him after scoring four runs in five innings. And while the Mets [...]
Max Scherzer was terrific and after a bullpen meltdown in the eighth inning, the Mets scored in the bottom of the ninth on an RBI single by Starling Marte to beat the Yankees, 3-2, and sweep the two-game series. Scherzer mostly cruised thru the first four innings and then had to work harder in his [...]
The Mets broke out the long ball, hitting two homers and three doubles to power their way to a 6-3 win over the Yankees Tuesday night at Citi Field. After falling behind, 2-0, in the top of the first, the Mets responded with a four-run bottom of the inning. Starling Marte hit a one-out solo [...]
Pete Alonso got the Mets back on the winning track with two big extra-base hits, leading the Mets to an 8-5 win over the Padres Sunday night at Citi Field. Trailing 1-0, Alonso came up in the sixth inning with two men on and unloaded a homer to left field to give the Mets their [...]
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before – the Mets mustered very little offense and a questionable/blown call by the home plate umpire led to a home run by the other team. This one led to a two-run homer, as the Padres downed the Mets, 2-1, Saturday night at Citi Field. Chris Bassitt pitched [...]
Yu Darvish shut down the Mets for the second time in as many starts this year, leading the Padres to a 4-1 win over the Mets Friday night at Citi Field. Darvish throws as many pitches as Chris Bassitt and the Mets couldn’t do anything against any of them for most of the night. He [...]
With a chance to sweep a four-game series and add a game to their lead for the All-Star break, the Mets instead gave up two runs in the eighth inning and suffered a 3-2 loss Sunday afternoon in Chicago. Drew Smith surrendered the runs in the eighth and took the loss. Just as important, he [...]
It was the opposite of pretty but the Mets won two games in extra innings on Saturday, sweeping a doubleheader from the Cubs in Chicago, a place where they haven’t fared particularly well the past half dozen years or so. Pete Alonso came up big in extra innings in both games. He hit a sacrifice [...]
Carlos Carrasco and Trevor Williams combined on a shutout and the Mets’ hitters had five of their 12 hits go for extra-bases en route to an 8-0 blanking of the Cubs Thursday night in Chicago. It was the third straight solid start for Carrasco, who threw six scoreless innings with six strikeouts. In his last [...]
The Mets belted three homers to build a 7-1 lead and cruised to a 7-3 win over the Braves Wednesday afternoon in Atlanta, winning the three-game series. Eduardo Escobar gave the Mets the early lead when he smacked a homer to right, which went 426 feet, in the second inning, giving Chris Bassitt a 1-0 [...]
One day after holding the HR-happy Braves to just a solo homer, Atlanta belted two, 2-run homers en route to a 4-1 victory over the Mets Tuesday night. Following up Monday’s golden sombrero, Matt Olson got his revenge. After just missing by inches on a home run previously in his AB in the sixth inning, [...]
Max Scherzer was terrific and the Mets got 2-RBI outings from both Pete Alonso and Luis Guillorme en route to a 4-1 win over the Braves Monday night in Atlanta. Scherzer was lights out from the start, as he allowed just one hit the first 6.2 IP, a scratch single that went off the glove [...]
