The New York Mets (22-28) have had a strong couple of weeks as they look to climb out of the bottom of the National League. Taking two of three from the New York Yankees seemed to be a turning point, but the Mets followed that up by splitting a four-game series with the Washington Nationals. Starting pitching was a point of weakness in D.C. Over the four games, the starters threw a total of 19...
Per Will Sammon of The Athletic, the New York Mets are recalling Jonah Tong from Triple-A Syracuse ahead of today’s game against the Miami Marlins. It is unclear how many, if any, innings they are hoping for in the series opener from Tong, as Tobias Myers will be starting the game. It is also unclear if they are looking to stretch out Myers into a full-time starter. Tong is coming off his...
At the end of April, things looked bleak for the back of the Mets’ bullpen. Devin Williams had an 8.00 ERA and blew a save in the middle of the Mets’ 12 game losing streak, while Luke Weaver had two blown saves of his own to go along with his 6.00 ERA. The No. 5 and No. 14 highest-paid relief pitchers in baseball looked like, in that small sample size, that they did not belong in...
Good morning, Mets fans! The Mets bounced back from their emotional Subway Series win by beating the Nationals 2-1 on Thursday, splitting the four-game series. Bo Bichette drove in both runs with a third-inning single, while David Peterson and the bullpen combined to hold Washington to one run. Devin Williams earned his seventh save and has now gone 10 straight appearances without allowing a...
The resurgent Mets avoided a major letdown after their dramatic win over the Yankees, defeating the Washington Nationals 2-1 on Thursday to split the four-game series. New York’s only runs came on a single by Bo Bichette in the third that drove in Luis Torrens and MJ Melendez. But Bichette’s hit was all they needed, thanks to a solid start by David Peterson and flawless work by the bullpen....
Thursday, May 21, 2026 • 4:05 PM Nationals Park • Washington, DC LHP David Peterson (2-4, 5.40) vs. RHP Cade Cavalli (2-2, 4.05) SNY The Mets will try to escape Washington with a four-game split today. After winning the first game of the series by scoring 10 runs in the 12th inning, the Mets’ bats have struggled to keep up with the Nationals over the last two days. Tuesday, Bo Bichette hit...
Last Friday, Zach Thornton struck out nine RailRiders in front of 3,707 at PNC Field in Moosic, Pennsylvania, in his second start for Triple-A Syracuse. The assignment on Wednesday was to face MLB’s highest-scoring team before 18,642 at Nationals Park. Welcome to the big leagues, leading off is James Wood. “I’m nervous before every game I pitch,” the 24-year-old said...
The Mets scored four runs in their loss to the Washington Nationals on a dark and stormy D.C. night. Three of those runs came roaring off the bat of Juan Soto. Soto launched two home runs over the right-field wall at Nationals Park, boosting his OPS by nearly 50 points in a single game and pushing it above .950 on the season. It marked the 29th multi-homer game of his career, putting him in...
Good morning, Mets fans! The struggling David Peterson has been better with an opener in front of him, but he will start today in the Mets’ series finale against the Nationals, looking to come away with a series split. Peterson has a ghastly 8.10 ERA in five starts this season. In five long relief appearances, he has a 2.25 ERA. The Mets have lost two in a row. It’ll be Peterson...
Juan Soto hit two 400-plus foot home runs, but it wasn’t enough to overcome a rocky MLB debut by Zach Thornton as the Nats beat the Mets 8-4 Wednesday at Nationals Park. Thornton, 24, struggled immediately, giving up a single and a walk in the first inning before CJ Abrams teed off on an 85 mph cutter for a 389-foot, three-run homer, his 10th of the season and first off of a lefty. The...
Wednesday, May 20, 2026 • 6:45 PM Nationals Park • Washington, DC LHP Zach Thornton (0-0, -.–) vs. RHP Zack Littell (2-4, 6.10) SNY The Mets would love to rewind the clock on last night’s game. Through the top of the second, the Mets had a 5-0 lead thanks to two Bo Bichette home runs. Then the wheels just fell off defensively, and the Mets lost the game 9-6. Blunder after blunder. All of...
“Just wanting to be the player that the Mets signed is something that I think about a lot.” This is a statement Bo Bichette made to reporters after going 3-for-6 with a double, home run, one walk, and driving in three RBIs with two runs scored on Monday in the Mets’ wild 16-7 win over the Nationals, the start of a breakout week for Bichette. When the Mets signed Bichette this offseason to a...
