The Mets snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, allowing four runs in the ninth inning en route to a 6-5 loss to the last-place Giants. For the third time in the last four series, the Mets had a chance for a sweep, only to lose the last game. Plenty of blame to go around [...]
It’s been an up and down season for the Mets so far, but unquestionably one bright spot has been T.J. Rivera. The 28-year-old rookie has been holding down the fort at first base while regular first sacker Lucas Duda has been on the DL. Duda has been working in extended spring training and his return [...]
For one night, at least, the Mets have nothing to apologize for. They raced out early, then cruised home on the recovering right arm of Zack Wheeler.

The Mets missed a chance to get back to .500 with the setback and suffered their first shutout of the season. The game was lost before the players even stepped on the field. Matt Harvey was scheduled to [...]
The Mets brought back virtually the same team that ended 2016 for the current season. Sure, there were tweaks on the margins, as James Loney was not invited back.
