The Mariners ended Drew Smith’s scoreless streak with a run in the eighth inning and emerged with a 2-1 win over the Mets Friday night at Citi Field in the opener of a three-game set. People have been complaining for years that there are too many homers in the game. Those people should have loved [...]

The Mets were putting runners on base but weren’t able to come up with the big hit. Meanwhile, Carlos Carrasco was off to a fine [...]
