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...
The Mets failed to handle the baseball with care on Tuesday. Tyrone Taylor lost sight of it. Marcus Semien bobbled it and threw it wildly. Luis Torrens didn’t catch it (twice). The irresponsibility came at the worst time. With two outs and the bases loaded in the second inning, James Wood drove an 85 mph Nolan McLean sweeper 379 feet to the left-field wall. Nick Morabito, making his MLB...
While the Mets’ minor league pitching scuffled Tuesday, the offense at most levels showed up. Binghamton hitters seem to be breaking out, Syracuse offense continues to shine, and the youngsters on the FCL Mets are starting to stack some wins. Triple-A Syracuse Mets (24-21) 9, Buffalo (23-23) 5 Box Score 1B Ryan Clifford: 1-for-3, 2 R, BB 2B/1B Christian Arroyo: 1-for-4, HR, R, RBI CF...
Good morning, Mets fans! The Mets fell 9-6 to the Nationals on Tuesday night after blowing an early 5-0 lead and wasting a breakout performance from Bo Bichette. Bichette launched a couple two-run home runs and drove in four runs, but starter Nolan McLean had the toughest outing of his young career. He allowed nine runs as Washington stormed back behind James Wood’s inside-the-park grand slam...
One night of drama wasn’t enough for the two teams. After a 16-7 win over the Nationals in which the Mets scored 10 runs in the 12th inning on Monday night, it was another wild one in Washington on Tuesday. On the mound, it was the righty Nolan McLean (2-2, 3.57 ERA) for the Mets against lefty Foster Griffin (4-2, 4.02 ERA) for the Nationals. It was a lopsided roller coaster of emotions for the...
Tuesday, May 19, 2026 • 6:45 PM Nationals Park • Washington, DC RHP Nolan McLean (2-2, 2.92) vs. LHP Foster Griffin (4-2, 3.53) SNY The Mets try to extend their winning streak to four games tonight as they take on the Nationals in game two of their four-game series. Last night, the Mets played a game unlike any they have ever played. They traded leads with the Nationals throughout the game, with...
According to Will Sammon of The Athletic, the New York Mets are promoting top outfield prospect Nick Morabito. The Mets designated Austin Slater for assignment early Tuesday morning, per John Heyman of the New York Post, opening the roster spot that will now be occupied by Morabito. Slater had struggled mightily since joining the Mets on April 27th, posting a .586 OPS over 20 at-bats. Morabtio,...
Good morning, Mets fans! Jon Heyman of the NY Post reported that the Mets have hope that Francisco Lindor may be back from injury in about a month. However, there is still no firm timetable in place. Both Jorge Polanco and Luis Robert Jr. are still without any timetable for a return to play. On Monday night, the Mets defeated the Nationals 16-7 in 12 innings. After a closely contested contest...
