Freddy Peralta came to the Mets coming off the best season of his career, but over his 13 starts entering Tuesday he had not been close to the pitcher who went 17-6 with a 2.70 ERA and placed fifth in Cy Young voting. But at 4-4 with a 3.63 ERA his numbers had been in line with his performances the two years prior. In 2024, he was 11-9 with a 3.68 ERA and in 2023 he went 12-10 with a 3.86 ERA....
In what seems to be the norm for the 2026 New York Mets, they grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory Saturday night against the Padres. The Mets lost 3-2 thanks to a two run home run by Freddy Fermin off Austin Warren in the bottom of the seventh inning. Fermin entered the game with a .392 OPS and had yet to hit his first home run of the season. Despite the loss, Nolan McLean threw another very...
It has happened! Christian Scott has finally earned his first career major league win, snapping a streak of 15 straight winless starts to begin his career, two shy of the major league record held by Liam Hendriks. The Mets took the win over the Marlins by a score of 6-1 on Saturday, winning three in a row and taking the series against Miami. It was a great day overall for the Mets, which...
Carson Benge went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts. So did A.J. Ewing. The Mets were one out away from getting one-hit on Saturday before Tyrone Taylor doubled and Mark Vientos singled to spoil a shutout. The offense was missing in Miami for a second straight game as the last-place New York Mets (22-30) lost 4-1 in front of 21,071 at loanDepot park. “The past couple games, we’ve faced...
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...
The Mets are calling up left-handed prospect Zach Thornton to make his debut Wednesday against the Nationals, Carlos Mendoza said Monday. Thornton, 24, struck out nine over six scoreless innings in his most recent start at Triple-A Syracuse on Friday. He was MMO’s No. 16 Mets prospect before the season, and is No. 13 on MLB Pipeline’s Mets Prospects List. Mendoza said a decision...
Good morning, Mets fans! The bats were cold in the desert. Eduardo Rodriguez pitched a career-high 8 1/3 innings and held the Mets hitless until Carson Benge singled with one out in the sixth as Arizona beat the Mets 5-1 Sunday to take two out of three. New York (15-25) scored five runs on 12 hits in the series and finished their road trip at 5-4. “We needed to be better,” Carlos...
Clay Holmes likely would not have been the guy many would have thought would be leading the National League in ERA on May 10. Of Mets pitchers, the first guess would have been Freddy Peralta (3.12 ERA) and then maybe Nolan McLean (2.78), but after his eighth consecutive start of allowing two earned runs or fewer Holmes’ ERA leads the NL at 1.86. He’s been so good that giving up two...
Marcus Semien singled on the first pitch he saw in the second inning. He doubled on Michael Lorenzen’s second offering to him in the fourth. He singled on the first pitch in the sixth. In the ninth, with the Mets up 8-4, he drove a 3-1 pitch 395 feet to left (exit velocity 100.8 mph) for a two-run homer. It all added up to the first four-hit game for a Met this year. He scored three runs,...
For just the second time this season, and the first since early April, the New York Mets won a series on the road. The Mets took two out of three from the Angels to get the road trip off to a promising start. As a result, New York improved to 12-22 on the year. Of course, it is too early to tell if this is the start of a turnaround. The Mets hardly made it easy in Anaheim, committing a series of...
Saturday, May 3, 2026 • 4:07 PM Angel Stadium • Anaheim, CA RHP Clay Holmes (3-2, 1.75) vs. RHP Jack Kochanowicz (2-0, 3.09) SNY Things continue to trend downward for the New York Mets. The Mets were down most of Saturday night and tried to stage a late comeback, but ultimately failed in extra innings against the Angels. Additionally, Ronny Mauricio fractured his thumb sliding into first base...
Bad and weird things keep happening to the 2026 New York Mets, and those themes continued in their 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday night. Austin Warren almost pulled a rabbit out of the hat, but still, he allowed a game-winning single to Oswald Peraza. There was a play that should’ve been challenged by the Mets early in the game that ended up costing them a run....
