For large stretches of this young season, the New York Mets have struggled offensively. Injuries have played a major factor, for sure. No argument there. But even when they were close to full strength, their lineup was still performing far below expectations. Entering Monday, the homestand against Detroit, the team ranked second-worst in MLB in batting average (.222) and hits (295), and worst in...
Good morning, Mets fans! Best win of the year! RIP to the streak of losing when trailing after eight innings. It died Sunday at 91 games. Tyrone Taylor hit a game-tying, three-run homer just inside the left-field foul pole with the Mets down to their last out against Yankee closer David Bednar. The Mets walked it off in the 10th when Carson Benge bounced a ball on the infield and Marcus Semien...
After a big win in the second game of the series, the New York Mets’ pitching and defense almost foiled their afternoon Sunday. However, huge hits and a comeback not seen in almost two years propelled the Mets to a series win, taking the home portion of the Subway Series 7-6 and finishing a strong 5-1 homestand. The Mets are now six games under .500, but with all the momentum on their...
Sunday, May 17, 2026 • 1:40 PM Citi Field • Flushing, NY RHP Elmer Rodríguez (0-1, 5.19) vs. RHP Freddy Peralta (3-3, 3.13) SNY The New York Mets can win another series Sunday afternoon! Friday was a disparaging night. The Mets’ offense looked flat. Clay Holmes suffered a fracture in his league on a comebacker sidelining him for a while. Saturday night was the reverse. The Mets scored six runs,...
Winning baseball games is always fun. Wins against a rival? Even more fun. The New York Mets took down the New York Yankees on Saturday night thanks in large part to relief outings from Luke Weaver and Devin Williams. What are some things that these players have in common? They both are relief pitchers on the New York Mets. They both were born on the 21st of a month. They both made their major...
The New York Mets’ farm system saw a mixed bag of results on Saturday night, splitting their four games into a 2-2 record. Xzavion Curry made his debut within the organization, which feels more notable now than before in light of the Clay Holmes injury. The Binghamton Rumble Ponies (Double-A) and Brooklyn Cyclones (High-A) struggled at the plate again, as both continue to be offensive...
Good morning, Mets fans! The Mets got good news on Clay Holmes on Saturday. According to Laura Albanese of Newsday, Holmes will not need surgery and the injury should not be season-ending. However, with Holmes going on the injured list, the Mets are considering putting Tobias Myers into the rotation. Mike Puma of the New York Post added to what Albanese reported and noted that along with not...
One day after they lost Clay Holmes to a fractured fibula, the New York Mets took game two of the 2026 Subway Series against the New York Yankees 6-3 thanks to a pair of good performances by Juan Soto and Luke Weaver. Weaver, especially, had the gutsiest performance by any Mets pitcher this season as he battled out of a bases-loaded and nobody-out jam. David Peterson was solid out of the bullpen...
Saturday, May 16, 2026 • 7:15 PM Citi Field • Flushing, NY LHP Carlos Rodón (0-0, 6.23) vs. RHP Huascar Brazobán (2-1, 2.14) FOX The bad news just continues for the 2026 Mets. Clay Holmes, in the midst of a career year, fractured his fibula last night, taking a comebacker from Spencer Jones. The Mets will have to file this under next week’s problems as they just need to get through this weekend...
It’s the middle of May. It’s deep enough into the season now that it’s fair to say Bo Bichette has been a disappointment. While a few other Mets have finally started to get going — Brett Baty, Carson Benge and Marcus Semien, to name a few — Bichette has remained in a slump. Despite this, the Mets have kept him in the top third of the order. It’s partly due to necessity,...
Zach Thornton dominated in his second start for Triple-A Syracuse Friday night, striking out nine over six scoreless innings in an 8-2 victory over Scranton/Wilkes Barre. (You can see one of the Ks here.) The preseason No. 16 prospect on MMO gave up three hits and walked one. The 24-year-old was promoted earlier this month after pitching to a 3.60 ERA over five starts at Double-A. Triple-A...
Good morning, Mets fans! What a painful night. The Mets (18-26) lost the Subway Series opener at Citi Field, but the bigger blow came after the game when it was revealed that Clay Holmes broke his right fibula on a 111 mph comebacker hit by Spencer Jones in the fourth inning. Carlos Mendoza said the dependable Holmes, who will be added to the injured list with a 2.39 ERA, will “be down for...
