After blowing two leads late against the Pirates in the previous six games, it was only fair that the Mets scored two runs in the ninth inning Sunday to salvage the final game of the series, with a 7-6 win. Michael Conforto delivered the game-winning hit with a two-run homer, which drove in Dominic Smith. [...]
Last night’s loss was bad because there was seemingly no effort. Tonight’s was even worse, as the Pirates rallied from a 6-0 deficit in the late innings to win on a walkoff grand slam, edging the Mets, 9-7, Saturday night in Pittsburgh. The Pirates put up a five-spot in the eighth inning against Seth Lugo [...]
The best thing about this game was that the rain delay only lasted about 40 minutes. In one of the most uninspiring efforts you could possibly imagine, the Mets fell to the Pirates, 4-1, in the opening game of the second half Friday night in Pittsburgh. The Pirates had a pitcher who didn’t have great [...]
The Pirates scored two runs in the top of the ninth to earn a come-from-behind win over the Mets, 6-5, and claim a split of the four-game series before the All-Star break. For most of the year, the Mets were terrific when they scored first, but both losses in this series happened when the Mets [...]
Stop me if you've heard this one before but the Mets played a doubleheader and split. At least this time they varied the outcome a bit, as they dropped the first game and took the second game of the twinbill against the Pirates Saturday at Citi Field. In the nightcap, Pete Alonso homered and the [...]
The Mets broke open a tie game with a 10-run sixth inning en route to a 13-4 win over the Pirates in the first of a four-game set at Citi Field Friday night. Brandon Nimmo got the big rally going in the sixth inning with a single. Francisco Lindor drew a walk and Dominic Smith [...]
Jose Peraza homered in the bottom of the seventh to send the first game into extra innings and Jeff McNeil drilled a two-run single in the eighth to give the Mets a 4-3 win in the opener of the doubleheader and an eventual split of the twinbill against the Brewers Wednesday at Citi Field. Jacob [...]
Pete Alonso ripped a two-run double to break a 1-1 tie, leading the Mets to a 4-2 win over Brandon Woodruff and the Brewers Monday night at Citi Field. Woodruff and Tylor Megill were locked in an unexpected pitcher’s duel. Megill went five innings and only allowed a solo homer but an elevated pitch count [...]
The Mets exploded for six runs in the seventh inning of the first game of the Fourth of July doubleheader to earn the come-from-behind victory and ultimately a split in their doubleheader with the Yankees Sunday in the Bronx. It looked like a marquee pitching matchup in the opener, with Marcus Stroman squaring off against [...]
Brandon Nimmo had three hits in his return to the active roster and Taijuan Walker came up with another strong outing – even if he was pulled too early – leading the Mets to an 8-3 win over the Yankees in the Bronx Saturday afternoon. Nimmo led off the game with a single and he [...]
The Mets and Braves had a see-saw battle at Truist Park that ended with a bang-bang infield single off the bat of All-Star Freddie Freeman to drive in the winning run in the bottom of the ninth, resulting in a 4-3 Braves triumph. Mets starter Jacob deGrom showed he was human after all, at least [...]
The Braves scored 20 unanswered runs to rout the Mets, 20-2, Wednesday night in Atlanta. In a game like this, typically you say – well, at least no one got hurt. But starter David Peterson left the game early and since it’s 2021, we should probably expect an IL stint. Either way, the blowout allowed [...]
