Steven Matz pitched the Mets' third shutout of the season, as he blanked the Pirates on 99 pitches. Backed by the HR exploits of Michael Conforto and J.D. Davis, the Mets emerged with a 3-0 win Saturday night in Citi Field. The win upped the Mets' record after the AS break to 9-5, tying their [...]
Zack Wheeler made a solid start after being activated from the IL and the Mets broke out the long ball en route to a 6-3 win over the Pirates at Citi Field Wheeler made his first start in 19 days and retired 12 in a row before tiring in the sixth inning and surrendering a [...]
Jacob deGrom continued his daylight mastery, with seven shutout innings Thursday afternoon, pitching the Mets to a 4-0 victory over the Padres and a win in the rubber game of the series. The Mets are now 7-5 since the All-Star break. The Mets scored four runs in the first inning, aided by a couple of [...]
Bad defense, bad relief pitching and the lack of the clutch hit all combined together to do the Mets in Wednesday night, as they fell to the Padres, 7-2. Their three-game series is tied 1-1 heading to Thursday's afternoon rubber game.
Robinson Cano crushed three homers to back six shutout innings by Jason Vargas to lead the Mets to a 5-2 win in the opening game of a three-game series against the Padres in Citi Field Tuesday night. Cano hit a solo shot in the fourth inning and added two-run blasts in the sixth and seventh [...]
For the third time in four games, the Mets and Giants played extra innings and for the third time, the Giants came out on top, this time by a 3-2 score Sunday in San Francisco. Mike Yazstrzemski delivered a walk-off homer to left field in the bottom of the 12th to send the Mets to [...]
Well, the Mets ripped defeat from the jaws of victory and I’m partially to blame, as I started to write this piece during the top of the 16th inning when the Mets took the lead. But both teams went through their entire bullpens and Chris Mazza simply had nothing left when he took the mound [...]
Slumping Dominic Smith came off the bench to deliver a go-ahead 3-run homer in the seventh inning, the start of a 12-run outburst over the final three innings, which led to a 14-4 win over the Twins and a sweep of the two-game series. It was the fourth straight win for the Mets, tying their [...]
The Mets traveled to Minneapolis feeling a little bit better about themselves, having taken two of three from the lowly Miami Marlins. They would face a much sterner test against the powerful Twins, sporting baseball's third best record. They'd send Steven Matz to the mound in an attempt to subdue the Twins' potent offense. They [...]
The Mets came into this game looking to win their first road series since mid-April. Remember mid-April? When we thought the Mets might still be good? Seems a long time ago, doesn't it? They would send Jacob deGrom to the mound to recall that era of good feeling. In any case, the Mets started off [...]
The Mets came into tonight’s game closer to the Marlins for last place than to the third place Phillies. After coming out of the All Star break stumbling, Noah Syndergaard led the Mets to victory by the score of 4-2. Syndergaard went seven innings strong, giving up two runs and striking out nine while lowering [...]
I'd like to think the Mets really wanted to end the first half on an up note. That they'd want to go out with their heads held high, ready to take on all comers in the second half; to make that second half more than garbage time. After all that had gone on this weekend [...]
