Like a Hollywood reboot, Captain Kirk was back in action. Except this time, the three extra K's at the end of his name each represented a home run, as Kirk Nieuwenhuis became the first Mets player every to hit three round-trippers in a home game, and just the eighth Mets player to do it at [...]
In his debut season, Matt Harvey made 10 starts. Since then, we’ve compared first Zack Wheeler then Jacob deGrom to Harvey after they, too, have made 10 starts.

Syndergaard established a team-high with 13 strikeouts. He gave up a run in the first inning and then cruised through the next six frames. In a bit of a surprise [...]
