Yoenis Cespedes single-handedly beat the Padres with a home run, triple, and double, knocking in three of the Mets' six runs. In typical Mets fashion, Cespedes had to exit the game with "leg fatigue" before he had a chance to complete the cycle. On a positive note, the Mets continue their trend of winning when [...]
Here in late July, many people are unhappy with the makeup of the 2017 Mets. That’s not really different from the way many people felt when Spring Training opened. However, the prevailing thought in February was that the offense was too one dimensional to be ultimately successful and the reality today is that on days [...]
This long West Coast road trip got started on the right foot -- or more accurately, right arm: the right arm of Jacob deGrom. Eight was deGrom's magic number on this night: eight innings pitched, eight strikeouts, eight consecutive winning starts. He kept the San Diego batters baffled all night and the offense gave him [...]

Based on those 30 games and his high draft pick status, 9th overall seemed like a fitting place for the former University of Florida player. After a dismal start, [...]

Rafael Montero pitched seven strong innings, allowing three solo home runs but not much else. But the Mets could only muster two runs of their own, courtesy of a Michael Conforto solo shot and [...]

Meanwhile, the team is playing its best baseball of the season. In their last 23 games, the [...]
Wilmer Flores cracked a solo homer with two outs in the ninth inning to lift the Mets to a 6-5 win over the A's Saturday night. The win leaves the Mets once again looking to complete a sweep on a Sunday. While Flores delivered the big hit, the Mets' offense had plenty of stars, as [...]
