Jacob deGrom returned from the IL and got a no-decision, as the Mets beat the Rockies, 3-1, and tied their series at one game apiece Tuesday night at Citi Field. deGrom was given an early lead when the Mets scored in the bottom of the first but he gave it right back, allowing a solo [...]
It’s the theme of the moment – Mets pitchers pitched well enough to win but the offense just didn’t do enough. This time, the Mets fell, 3-2, to the Rockies Monday night at Citi Field. In an effort to get more righties in the lineup, the Mets played James McCann at first base, despite McCann [...]
The Mets lost the rubber game of the series to the Marlins by a 5-1 score. If on April 1, someone told you that a team in the Mets' system used Jordan Yamamoto, Robert Gsellman and Yennsy Diaz in a game, your response would probably have been - how did Syracuse do? Alas, they were [...]
Garrett Cooper belted a two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth, sending the Marlins to a 3-1 victory over the Mets Saturday afternoon in Miami. The Mets were lucky to have the game tied. The only run they scored was aided by a blown strike call. Richard Bleier certainly looked like he had Dominic [...]
Jake Hager, Khalil Lee and Johneshwy Fargas all delivered hits in the 12th inning, giving the Mets a three-run lead. They gave back two in the bottom half of the inning but held on for a 6-5 win over the Marlins in the opener of a three-game set in Miami Friday night. All kind of [...]
After using 11 relievers in the past two games, the last thing the Mets needed was an early exit from starting pitcher David Peterson but that’s exactly what happened. Peterson couldn’t make it thru five innings and the Braves scored off both the third and fourth relief pitcher used by the Mets Wednesday and they [...]
After the Braves tied the game in the bottom of the eighth inning, Tomas Nido hit a homer with two outs in the ninth to put the Mets ahead for good, leading to a 4-3 win over the Braves Tuesday night in Atlanta. It was the second straight start for Nido, who had three hits [...]
In their first matchup against the Braves this year, the Mets suffered two more injuries but escaped with a 3-1 victory Monday night in Atlanta. Taijuan Walker got the start and pitched well until being forced to leave the game with tightness in his left side. The last thing the Mets needed was another injury [...]
The Mets managed just two hits and ended up losing to the Rays, 7-1. The Rays’ win gave them a sweep of the three-game series and they outscored the Mets, 22-8. Marcus Stroman started for the Mets and he cruised through the first three innings before the wheels came off in the fourth. He allowed [...]
The Mets reached their coveted four-run threshold, held a three-run lead and belted three homers in the game. And yet somehow came out on the wrong end of a 12-5 game against the Rays Saturday afternoon. Jose Peraza, Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor all homered. Drew Smith and Tommy Hunter each threw two scoreless innings, [...]
The Mets brought a 2-0 lead to the late innings but were unable to hold it, as they dropped the opener of the series to the Rays, 3-2, on a walkoff single in the ninth inning. The loss snapped a 7-game winning streak for the Mets. It was a weird game for starter David Peterson, [...]
The winning streak continues, unlikely and possibly quite costly. In a game that was dominated by the two starting pitchers, the big action came in the last three innings and had nothing to do with either of them. John Means squared off against Marcus Stroman and for six-plus innings, there was nothing to choose between [...]
