After a seeming three-game hangover, the offense busted out for the first time in the second half, producing 11 hits and three home runs en route to a 6-4 win over the Marlins Monday night in Miami. The Mets split their four-game set against their division rival and finish this weak part of their schedule [...]
The Mets didn’t hit a home run in the game, while the Marlins hit two. And the end result was a 4-2 loss Sunday in Miami. Christian Scott got the start and he surrendered the big blow, a three-run homer, right after the Mets had taken a 1-0 lead in the top half of the [...]
In a season where some think pitching has been too dominant, the Mets won their first 1-0 game of the season in their 97th contest of the 2024 campaign Saturday afternoon in Miami. The win gets the Mets back to three games above .500 at 50-47. The 2023 Mets were four games worse at 46-51 [...]
The second half of the season didn’t get off to the start the Mets hoped for, as they fell behind by four runs and ended up with a 6-4 loss to the Marlins Friday night in Miami. Sean Manaea started and didn’t have it. He threw too many pitches over the heart of the plate [...]
Mets pitchers gave up six home runs and came out on the losing end of an 8-5 game Monday against the Rockies at Citi Field. The loss snapped a five-game winning streak and puts the Mets’ record at 48-45 as we reach the All-Star break. Jose Quintana started and after two batters, he put the [...]
The Mets jumped out to a 4-0 lead, the Rockies rallied for three against the starter and in a nice twist, the bullpen gave 4.2 scoreless innings and the Mets emerged with a 7-3 win Saturday afternoon at Citi Field. It was the Mets’ fifth-straight win and pushed the Mets to four games over .500, [...]
The Mets hit five home runs and their starting pitcher gave seven innings. Easy win, right? Well, actually, no. The Rockies had the tying and go-ahead runs on in the ninth inning. But all’s well that ends well and the Mets hung on for a 7-6 win Friday night at Citi Field. The Mets are [...]
Mets pitchers allowed six hits and five walks, plus they hit three batters. But with the Nats going 1-12 with RISP – and that hit not driving in a run – the Mets picked up their first shutout of the year with a 7-0 whitewashing of Washington Thursday afternoon. The win gave the Mets a [...]
The Mets had a chance to be aggressive on the bases in the fourth inning but didn’t push their luck and didn’t score. They were aggressive in the sixth inning, which resulted in a four-run frame and eventually a 6-2 win over the Nationals Wednesday night. The Mets are now a half game behind the [...]
Francisco Lindor and Brandon Nimmo continue to prove why they should have made the All-Star game, as each homered to power the Mets to a 7-5 win over the Nationals Tuesday night. The Mets are now 6-2 against their NL East rival this season. It was a rematch of last week’s pitcher’s duel between Jose [...]
It’s hard to decide which one is more infuriating – the way the Mets handle their pitchers or Gary Cohen’s defense of that plan. Regardless, the former – over this entire season in general and this series in particular – directly and majorly contributed to an 8-2 loss to the Pirates Monday in the conclusion [...]
After blowing the lead in the bottom of the eighth inning, the Met scored two runs in the ninth to earn a 3-2 win over the Pirates Sunday afternoon in Pittsburgh. The win brought the Mets back to .500 for the season and raised their record against Pittsburgh this year to 5-1. After neither team [...]
