The Mets (15-20) travel to Baltimore to take on Brandon Hyde’s Orioles (15-19) in a two-game series beginning Tuesday night at 7:35 pm.

The rest of the Mets bullpen managed to hold the score for the most part with only Brad Brach allowing a solo home run. Offensively the team struggled yet again with an...

The New York Mets made a couple of trades right before the 4:00 p.m. deadline, as they tried to bolster the roster for a playoff push. In need of some bullpen help, New York swung a deal with the Baltimore Orioles to acquire veteran reliever Miguel Castro.
