Spencer Strider tried to throw a high fastball past Bo Bichette in the second inning. It didn’t work. He’d tried a slider in the first inning — on an 0-2 count, no less. But Bichette slammed that one into the seats for a solo shot to get the Mets’ scoring started in Friday’s series opener against the rival Braves. It went 383 feet, 102.6 mph off the bat. Bichette homered...
If there’s one thing the New York Mets could really use right now, it’s for Bo Bichette to fully get going. It seems every time he gets on a bit of an encouraging stretch, it doesn’t sustain. On Friday night, against the National League East Division-leading Atlanta Braves, Bichette had one of his finest performances as a Met. He launched two home runs, including a grand slam,...
Friday, June 12, 2026 • 7:15 PM Citi Field • Flushing, NY RHP Spencer Strider (4-1, 4.00) vs. RHP Nolan McLean (3-4, 3.98) Apple TV It is June 12, and the Mets will finally play the Braves for the first time this season. The Mets had a heavy West Coast-favored schedule for the first portion of the season and welcomed a lot of AL and NL Central teams to Queens in April. As a weird scheduling...
The New York Mets (30-38) have their work cut out for them. It’s simple as that. Four of their next five series come against teams above .500. The Mets faced some favorable opposition in recent weeks, but failed to take advantage of that opportunity. They enter the weekend with the third-worst record in the National League. If they want to play meaningful baseball this summer, the...
Things could have gone better to start the homestand for the New York Mets. After finishing the road trip strong, the Mets dropped the first two games to St. Louis at Citi Field. Granted, the bats did wake up to avoid a series sweep. However, all in all, the three-game series against the Cardinals was another reminder that the Mets have a lot of work to do just to get to .500. On that gloomy...
Juan Soto entered Thursday in perhaps the worst stretch of his season, with just three hits in his previous 32 at-bats. The Mets needed production from the middle of their lineup, and Soto delivered with a double and the go-ahead home run in a 5-4 win over the Cardinals. Thursday’s performance stood out because it came after a stretch in which Soto had not looked like himself at the plate. The...
Jack Wenninger had a quality start but his offense couldn’t help him in a Syracuse loss, Chris Suero hit a lead-off home run for Binghamton but that would be the only run scored in its loss as Kodai Senga allowed one hit in his rehab start, and Nicolas Carreno was dominant in his first start at High-A. Triple-A Syracuse Mets (34-32) 1, Buffalo Bisons (30-36) 3 BOX SCORE CF Nick Morabito...
The big club took care of business this afternoon; now it’s time for the minor league affiliates to take the field. Kodai Senga will resume his rehab assignment for Double-A Binghamton, and Jack Wenninger will look to find his groove again for Syracuse. In Brooklyn, Nicolas Carreno will make his first start since getting promoted from St. Lucie. 6:35 PM · Sahlen Field · Syracuse (34-31) at...
Perhaps the Mets were inspired by the unfathomable victory yesterday by another New York team wearing blue and orange. One day after the Knicks’ epic comeback win in the NBA Finals, the Mets showed some resilience themselves, coming back twice to beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-4 and avoid a sweep. Juan Soto homered in the seventh inning with the game tied 4-4 to put the Mets ahead for...
At some point, a bad stretch stops being bad luck. David Peterson entered against the Cardinals looking for stability on Wednesday evening, looking for answers, and to remind everyone why he was one of the Mets’ most dependable arms just a season ago. Instead, the questions surrounding his performance only got louder. After Austin Warren opened the game, Peterson was tasked with handling...
Wednesday was an up-and-down day for the Mets’ farm system as St. Lucie and Binghamton failed to record a run, while both Brooklyn and Syracuse picked up wins. Nick Morabito was a standout in the Syracuse win, collecting two hits. Triple-A Syracuse Mets (34-31) 8, Buffalo Bisons (33-30) 2 Box Score 2B Jihwan Bae: 3-for-4, BB, 2 R (.806 OPS) LF Nick Morabito: 2-for-4, BB, 2 R (.734...
Is hope in the air for the New York Mets now? There were a lot of positives on display as the Mets took two out of three from the Padres. And, in winning the series in San Diego, New York finished their final West Coast road trip with a 3-3 record. The Mets have also won seven of their last 10 games. Furthermore, they are 19-15 since May 1. That’s obviously a big improvement and a sign...
