Manaea Dazzles, Mets’ Offense Fades in Loss to Mariners

In game one of the New York Mets’ latest trip out west, their offense went back to sleep again as they were held to just two hits (both solo home runs) by Seattle Mariners pitching in a 3-2 loss at T-Mobile Park. A walk-off base hit by Cole Young off A.J. Minter in the bottom of the tenth inning to sink the Mets. That came after the Mets wasted their ghost runner chance. The positive was...

Juan Soto, Luke Weaver Guide Mets to 6-3 Win

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...

3 Up, 3 Down: Mets Stumble In Arizona

3 Up, 3 Down: Mets Swept By Cubs As Woes Continue

The New York Mets are making headlines for all the wrong reasons. After being swept by the Cubs in Chicago, the Mets have now lost 11 consecutive games and are 7-15 on the season.

They also look incompetent in almost every...

3 Up, 3 Down: Mets Drop Series To St. Louis

Zero offense and sloppy baseball ultimately doomed the New York Mets in St. Louis. The Mets dropped their first series of the year after losing two out of three to the rebuilding Cardinals. That included an all-around bad effort in the finale. It was the lack of offense in clutch situations that really concerned, however. And it is something the Mets will have to try and fix on the fly in a...

Luis Robert Jr’s Walk-Off Homer in Extras Lifts Mets over Pirates

For most of a cold afternoon at Citi Field, the 2025 version of the New York Mets made a return.

However, new Met Luis Robert Jr. hit a three-run home run in the bottom of the 11th inning to win it and send a freezing crowd home happy, as...

Mets 2026 Positional Outlook: Relievers
