Robinson Cano and Pete Alonso each clubbed two homers to lead the Mets to an 11-4 win over the Marlins Monday night. The homers were part of a nine-XBH night for the Mets. In all, the Mets banged out 14 hits, including four with runners in scoring position. They also drew eight walks and had [...]
What’s more depressing than getting swept by the Phillies? Beats me but as it’s 2020, it seems we’re sure to find the answer. But after the Mets’ 6-2 loss on Sunday, which dropped the team five games below .500, it feels pretty rotten in these parts right now. Rick Porcello pitched good for five innings, [...]
Both the Mets and the Phillies’ bullpens leave something to be desired. The setup guys for both teams did their jobs and it was the closers for both squads that let their teams down. The Mets tied the game in the top of the ninth off Hector Neris but the Phillies won the game in [...]
Hear ye! Hear ye! By royal proclamation, August 13, 2020 shall from now on be known as Tomas Nido Day, as the Mets’ backup catcher cracked two homers, including a grand slam, to lead the Mets to an 8-2 win over the Nationals Thursday afternoon. The win gave the Mets a split of their four-game [...]
Robert Gsellman got the starting nod and responded by putting the Mets in an immediate 3-0 hole. But that just set the stage for the Mets’ first come-from-behind win, as the bats awakened from hibernation to deliver 11 runs and 13 hits en route to an 11-6 win over the Nationals Wednesday night. If nothing [...]
Rick Porcello gave the Mets their best performance from a starting pitcher since their day off but the bats took the night off, resulting in a 2-1 loss to the Nationals Tuesday night. Porcello gave up a run in each of the first two innings but settled in to go six innings on the night. [...]
If you thought things couldn’t possibly get worse for the Mets after Marcus Stroman opted out earlier in the day, well, you’re wrong. The Mets got smoked by the Nationals, 16-4. Usually in a blowout you say something like, “the best thing is no one got hurt.” But in this blowout, where no one seemingly [...]
Jacob deGrom didn’t have his best stuff but he combined with four Mets relievers to pitch the Mets to a 4-2 win over the Marlins Sunday afternoon at Citi Field. The win gave the Mets the series victory over the first-place Marlins. It was a good first inning for deGrom but he had great trouble [...]
The heart of the order came up big for the Mets, hitting three homers and driving in all eight runs, leading the Mets to an 8-5 win Saturday night over the Marlins at Citi Field. The Mets’ win snapped a six-game winning streak for the Marlins. Michael Conforto got in the act first, smacking a [...]
The Marlins used a four-run second inning to claim a 4-3 win over the Mets Friday night. Miami is now 4-0 in one-run games while New York is 1-3. Michael Wacha started for the Mets and had a strong first inning, hitting 97 mph. But it fell apart for him in the second, as he [...]
The Mets got a strong pitching performance from Rick Porcello and just enough timely hits to earn a 3-1 win over the Nationals Wednesday night. It was the 150th career victory for Porcello. After starting his Mets career with two disastrous outings, Porcello gave up a run after facing just four batters and it looked [...]
The Nationals jumped on top early and held on for a 5-3 win over the Mets Tuesday night in Washington. It was the Mets’ sixth loss in their last seven games. Steven Matz surrendered two homers and five runs in three innings to put the Mets in an early hole. But the bullpen came up [...]
