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...
It may be Independence Day around the United States for the country’s 25oth birthday, but for the New York Mets, it was Groundhog Day again. In a 14-3 loss to the Atlanta Braves, the team’s 12th in their last 14 games and their third in a row, the Mets committed another bad defensive mistake and showed a continued lack of situational hitting—more of the same since the middle of last...
In game two of Andy Green’s interim tenure, the New York Mets finally snapped their latest seven-game losing streak with a 6-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. New York hasn’t had Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto together much this season due to injuries, but they both contributed with key hits, and each notched a triple. A.J. Ewing knocked in the go-ahead hit, and the Mets’...
Zach Thornton and the Mets (34-48) took on the Phillies (46-36) in their first game since the firing of Carlos Mendoza. The first game of the series went the same way as the first half of the season went: a 2-1 loss, their seventh in a row. Thornton was rudely greeted by the Phillies, who scored a run after tallying three straight hits on six pitches to take an early lead in the first inning....
After dropping game one to the Cubs on Tuesday night, along with the matinee’ matchup on Wednesday, the Mets were looking to avoid losing the series and being swept in the doubleheader at Citi Field. The Mets started their lefty Sean Manaea (1-2, 4.87 ERA, 60 SO) in game two against the Cubs’ lefty Shota Imanaga (4-6, 4.40 ERA, 88 SO). The Mets played the game of long-ball all day while the Cubs...
After a rainout series opener on Monday, the New York Mets and Chicago Cubs got their four-game series underway on Tuesday. It was right-handed pitcher Edward Cabrera (4-4, 5.10 ERA, 65 SO) on the mound for Chicago against the right-hander Kodai Senga (0-5, 10.08 ERA, 34 SO) on the hill for the Mets. Senga had a less-than-impressive outing yet again as his 2026 nightmare season continues. Senga...
In the 2026 season, the New York Mets have shown many different sides of themselves. However, there has been one constant that has repeatedly shown up on both sides of the ball: certain players have faltered when the team has needed them most. Against the Phillies on Saturday night, that was the case once again, as the Mets were blown out by a score of 15-3. The main culprit of this loss was not...
After the New York Mets offense struggled to score runs in the first two games of their series with the Cincinnati Reds, the offense used two-out hitting in the third inning as part of a nine-run, 15 hit game in a 9-1 win to prevent a sweep. Pitching-wise, the Mets didn’t get much out of Tobias Myers and Kodai Senga in the first two games, but Nolan McLean had his best outing in a bit with...
After walking away with a 12-0 loss to Cincinnati on Monday and the news of Christian Scott going to the injured list, the Mets were hoping to get back in the win column Tuesday night. As Scott headed to the IL, Tuesday night marked the return of right-handed pitcher Kodai Senga, who had been on the IL since April with lumbar spine inflammation. It was not the comeback outing Senga was hoping...
