Jose Quintana pitched 6.2 scoreless innings to pick up his 100th career win while lifting the Mets to a 4-0 victory over the Reds Saturday afternoon in Citi Field.

Jesse Winker hit a grand slam, the bullpen was terrific and the Mets added on a bunch of runs late thanks to some lousy Red Sox pitching. It all added up to an 8-3 win Wednesday night at Citi Field. The Mets swept the series and have now won seven in a row, tying their [...]
Remember back in May when the Mets lost three straight games in which they hit three home runs because the pitching was so bad? It was something that had happened only four times previously in MLB history. Well, the Mets here in the second half don’t lose when they hit three homers. And that’s what [...]
Luis Severino pitched perhaps his best game as a Met, leading the team to a 4-1 win over the Red Sox Monday night at Citi Field. The victory pushed the Mets to 10 games over .500 and within a half game of the idle Braves for the final Wild Card spot. Severino came out extremely [...]

Pete Alonso and Jesse Winker hit back-to-back home runs in the first inning and the Mets got just enough pitching against the lowly White Sox to emerge with a 5-3 victory Saturday night in Chicago.

There are never any style points in wins and that becomes even more apparent when you’re trying to make up ground. It wasn’t necessarily a pretty win but it was a win nonetheless, a 5-1 triumph over the White Sox Friday night in Chicago in the opener of a three-game series. Tylor Megill got the [...]
It would have been easy for the Mets to roll over after a demoralizing loss last night.

The victory gave the Mets the series win and it also gave them the season series [...]
Edwin Diaz gave up a grand slam homer for another demoralizing loss, as the Mets fell to the Diamondback, 8-5, Wednesday night in Phoenix.

The back end of the Mets’ bullpen has been so good for so long. But two of their best relievers gave up homers late, turning a 2-0 lead into a 3-2 loss Sunday afternoon in San Diego. The loss means the Mets split the four-game series with the Padres. But, should the two teams tie, [...]
