With wins in their last three games, the Mets are now 9-7 in September. It sure feels a lot worse than that, given the sweep by the Cubs and dropping two of three to the Nationals earlier in the month. But if you go by the idea they should win two out of every three [...]
Chris Bassitt rebounded from a rocky outing last time out to throw six shutout innings to lead the Mets to a 5-1 win over the Pirates Saturday night at Citi Field. After getting knocked around by the Cubs in his previous appearance, Bassitt cruised thru the first three innings before experiencing some traffic in the [...]
On Thursday night, the New York Mets finally got back in the win column as they defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-1. It was a special Fox Sports broadcast to celebrate the legacy of Roberto Clemente, and Francisco Lindor put his stamp on the occasion in a special way. The Puerto Rico native smashed his 24th [...]
In a game that shouldn’t have been anywhere near this close, the Mets escaped with a 4-3 win over the Pirates Friday night. It was the team’s 91st win of the season, the most the club has won in a year since 2006. Taijuan Walker took the mound against a sub-.500 team and pitched great, [...]

MLB honored Roberto Clemente and Carrasco is a former Clemente Award winner so it was extra satisfying to see him succeed [...]

Not only that, they have both the home and away broadcast available to view. So, in this time when we’re worried [...]
If three nights ago someone told you that the Giants were going to take two out of three from the Braves and the Cubs were going to sweep the Mets, you probably would have laughed at them. But that’s where we are as both of the top teams in the NL East are limping to [...]
