On Sunday afternoon, Jose Butto took the mound and faced two challenging tasks: taking the mound on the day that the Mets retired Dwight Gooden’s No. 16, and facing a hot Kansas City Royals team. The 26-year-old right-hander rose to the occasion and then some – tossing 6.0 shutout innings while striking out a career-high [...]

The Mets’ offensive explosion continues, as they banged out 14 hits and six runs en route to a 6-1 win over the Royals Friday night at Citi Field. It was their sixth win in their last eight games and brings them within a game of .500 at 6-7. Trailing by a run, the Mets tied [...]
The Mets started off 0-5, mostly due to a bad offense that looked like one of the worst in the entire league. Since then, they’ve gone 5-2, with three of those seven games coming in Atlanta versus a Braves team that had gone 16-4 against the Mets in the last 20 games between the two [...]

And nowhere is this more apparent than with Mets top prospect Christian Scott, who has two games pitched so far for Triple-A Syracuse.
