As announced on MLB Network, two Mets will travel to Denver to represent the team in the 2021 SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game. Infielder Brett Baty and catcher Francisco Àlvarez were named to the roster on Wednesday morning. Àlvarez, at just 19 years old, has been demolishing pitching all season long. Between Low-A St. Lucie and High-A Brooklyn, the 5’10 catcher is hitting .321/.453/.597...

The greatest comeback in Mets history? Game 6, 1986 World Series — obviously. The largest deficit ever overcome by a Mets team? That would be September 2, 1972 in Houston — making up eight runs on the Astros. What took place on a Friday night in June at Shea Stadium 21 years ago doesn’t hold the same significance as the ‘86 Fall Classic and not quite the depth of recovery in ‘72 at...

The Mets turned to right hander Tylor Megill in game one of a three-game series in Atlanta versus the Braves, for his second career big league start. Megil made his debut against Atlanta last week, so he was forced to go up against the same lineup in the span of a week.

Good morning, Mets fans! The Mets won their game last night. How? Well, I’m not really sure (it was clutch hits), but it’s a stark turn around from the previous couple weeks, where the Mets really struggled to score bunches in runs when down late. Down three runs in the seventh, the Mets scored three on a James McCann homer to tie it, and Francisco Lindor hit the ultimate game winner...

For the second consecutive day, a team made sure to set up their rotation so they had a pitcher with a good curveball face the Mets. And for a while, it worked. Like last week, Charlie Morton was virtually untouchable for two-thirds of Tuesday’s game, but his one bad curve hung a little too much and James McCann sent it into the seats, leading to a 4-3 comeback win for the Mets in Atlanta. Tylor...
