The Mets picked up their second shutout in three games, as they blanked the Nationals, 4-0, Sunday afternoon at Citi Field to take the rubber game of the series. J.D. Davis gave the Mets the early lead with a two-run homer in the first inning. Davis singled and scored a run in the fourth. The [...]
Marcus Stroman didn't have it, the Mets bats didn't have it and the end result was a 7-1 defeat Saturday afternoon at Citi Field. Stroman allowed an unearned run in the first inning thanks to an error by Michael Conforto that turned a leadoff single into a runner on third base. Conforto didn't get charged [...]
It’s not often that someone can drive in four of the game’s six runs, including an upper deck homer, and not even be in consideration for player of the game. But we saw a prime Jacob deGrom outing, where he set the MLB record for most strikeout in the first four games of the season, [...]
The Mets rallied from a 3-0 deficit to tie the game but failed to score with the Mickey Mouse rules in the 10th inning before falling, 4-3, to the Cubs Thursday night in Chicago. The victory gave the Cubs a sweep of the three-game series. In the first two games of the series, Mets pitchers [...]
Julius Randle scored 40 points and the Knicks made 19 3-point shots en route to a 137-127 OT win over the Hawks Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden. It was the eighth-straight win for the Knicks and with the victory they leapfrogged the Hawks in the standings and now sit in fourth place in the [...]
The Mets loaded the bases in the ninth inning but could not complete the comeback, as the top two hitters both failed to come through with a clutch hit, leading to a 3-1 loss to the Cubs Tuesday night in Chicago. Two walks surrounding an out brought Luis Guillorme up as a pinch-hitter and he [...]
Which one was more unlikely – a 2-1 game in Colorado or the Mets ending a game with a caught stealing? Both things happened Sunday afternoon in Denver as the Mets edged the Rockies to claim the series win. Marcus Stroman was terrific, as he allowed just 1 ER in 8 IP and if not [...]
It’s about time. Jacob deGrom pitched wonderfully, again, but it looked like he was going to suffer another painful loss, this time to the one-two punch of no run support combined with bad defense. But the offense bailed him out in the top of the seventh inning and the Mets earned a come-from-behind 4-3 win [...]
Before this series started, most people were worried about the game that David Peterson would pitch, since he’s really struggled against the Phillies in his brief history. But Peterson was terrific and the Mets’ offense sprung to life, as the Mets earned a 5-1 victory Wednesday night at Citi Field. Peterson gave up just two [...]
Marcus Stroman pitched six shutout innings in the nightcap to lead the Mets to a 4-0 win and a sweep of the doubleheader over the Phillies Tuesday night at Citi Field. With the wins, the Mets improved to 4-3 and moved percentage points ahead of the Phillies for first place in the NL East. Stroman, [...]
If there was any justice in the world, everyone who wore a Mets uniform today not named Jacob deGrom would be forced to leave the stadium wearing a cone of shame. Stop me if you’ve heard this before but deGrom was magnificent, gave up just one run in eight innings yet came away with the [...]
If being fair is important to you, then maybe this wasn’t the best game ever. The Mets won the game in the bottom of the ninth on a walkoff HBP, which would have been weird enough all by itself. But on this particular play, not only did Michael Conforto make no effort to get out [...]
