The post-trade deadline 2026 New York Mets were beginning to make a bit of noise after winning four in a row. They had swept the Cleveland Guardians and taken the first game of a series with the Pittsburgh Pirates. However, the Mets came back down to Earth on Saturday night with a 9-0 loss to the Pirates, snapping their winning streak. Robert Stock struggled mightily in his second start of the...
Sean Manaea and the Mets on Tuesday took the field in Cleveland for the first of a three-game series against the Guardians that opens a nine-game road trip for New York. While it wasn’t Manaea’s strongest outing, he found his way out of trouble several times, giving up just two earned runs on seven hits and five walks, and striking out seven in six innings to lead the Mets to a 6-2 victory over...
On Saturday against the Miami Marlins, the New York Mets celebrated the 40th anniversary of the 1986 World Series Championship team. To this day, the last time the Mets have hoisted a World Series trophy. Unfortunately, with many of the ’86 team in attendance, the Mets showed why they are where they are right now in a 6-2 loss to the Marlins. Zac Thornton had his first rough outing of his...
Syracuse was flat with the bats and the pitching wasn’t sharp in their loss. Despite home runs from Chris Suero and Nick Lorusso, Binghamton couldn’t fight off the Fightin Phils’ comeback in the ninth inning; Brooklyn was ambushed, giving up two touchdowns in their loss, and Christian Rodriguez was hit hard in the St. Lucie defeat. Triple-A Syracuse Mets (51-54) 1, Rochester...
It was the night of “C’s” in game two of Wednesday’s doubleheader between the Mets and Braves as the Mets sought to try to sweep the Braves. Christan Scott and Chris Sale cruised on Christmas in July at Citi Field. Scott and Sale went toe-to-toe through five scoreless innings, but the Braves struck first off of Scott in the sixth to break the scoreless tie and ultimately went on to shutout New...
In game one of Wednesday’s split doubleheader with the Atlanta Braves, Sean Manaea continued his resurgence in the Mets’ 3-2 win over Atlanta. Manaea went six strong innings, and the bullpen guided the Mets to the finish line from there. Carson Benge had himself a two-hit day, culminating in the go-ahead double with the game tied in the bottom of the seventh. The Mets are now 46-62...
Saturday’s pitching matchup was certainly one to circle on the MLB calendar as Nolan McLean took the mound for the New York Mets opposite Yoshinobu Yamamoto of the Los Angeles Dodgers. McLean did his part against the Dodgers’ lineup and allowed only two earned runs. McLean went six innings with seven strikeouts. However, as has been the case this season, more fielding errors led to...
After the Mets dropped game one to the Brewers on Monday, they bounced back to take game two on Tuesday. It was a pitcher’s duel between the Mets’ left-hander Zac Thornton (0-1, 2.11 ERA) and the former Met right-hander Brandon Sproat (3-4, 5.09 ERA, 91 SO) for Milwaukee as he faced his former team for the first time. For the Brewers, it was also the first time in 13 games that they had faced a...
On a wet day in Philadelphia, the New York Mets played another game that resembled the day itself against the Philadelphia Phillies. An error-driven game, with three errors on the day, and it was marred by mistakes and more Phillies home runs, as the Mets dropped game two of this weekend series 6-1. Sean Manaea wasn’t great by any means on Saturday, but his defense didn’t help him...
One day after the New York Mets and their offense were held to 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position against Sonny Gray, the Mets continued their struggles with runners on base in Saturday’s 4-0 loss to the Boston Red Sox. Saturday was the ninth time this season they’ve been shut out. New York’s offense was held to just three hits, all singles, against Boston’s bullpen...
The first key to success is failure. And the first pitch of Sean Manaea’s brilliant start Thursday against the Royals was the definition of unsuccessful. Lane Thomas came up to the plate, and before many had sat down, deposited a four-seamer 406 feet into the left field seats. The pitch gave the Royals an instant one-run lead, but wound up being half of the Royals’ total runs in the...
Tuesday marked the start of the penultimate series before the All-Star break for teams around the league. For the Mets, they are closing out the first half of the year with six straight games at home, including three against former Met, Starling Marte and the Kansas City Royals. It was the first time Marte was returning to Citi Field since signing with Kansas City as a free agent in March. After...
