It looks like Nolan McLean has once again found his groove. The 24-year-old flamethrower was electric Wednesday afternoon, tossing seven dominant innings against the Cincinnati Reds. He struck out nine, allowed just three hits and one walk, and delivered his longest outing of June. “That was excellent,” manager Carlos Mendoza said after the game. That comment was an understatement....

It tells you how far the expectations have fallen for Kodai Senga that Tuesday’s night’s performance in the Mets’ 5-3 loss to the Reds can be looked at as mildly encouraging. He walked the first two batters he faced, then Sal Stewart hit an 88 mph sinker 410 feet to left field to give the Reds (35-37) a 3-0 lead. Three batters later in the first, Spencer Steer hit a 95 mph...

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.

Good morning, Mets fans! On Monday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today shared the results of the first round of MLB All-Star 2026 voting.

On the Mets side of things, only Juan Soto and Bo Bichette are in the top 10 of their respective positions. Despite Soto having...
Monday’s game was a tale as old as time for the New York Mets.
