After homering on Opening Day, Carson Benge went into a 2-for-30 slump that saw his batting average tumble to .091 on April 7. But whether it was by faith or necessity, Carlos Mendoza stuck with him, even batting him leadoff at times to try to get him going. The rookie is showing signs of meeting the potential that the Mets saw when they made him the 19th pick of the 2024 draft out of Oklahoma...

New York is now 10 games under .500 on the...

Rejoice! The New York Mets finally won a game and a series! After the losing streak hit 12 consecutive games, the Mets finally put an end to the downslide by taking two out of three from the Minnesota Twins. It wasn’t always pretty or straightforward, and the series win did come with a cost with Francisco Lindor picking up a potentially serious injury. However, it was important that the...
Good morning, Mets fans! Who is ready to stay up late? The Mets (7-9) dropped their fifth in a row on Sunday, 1-0, to the Athletics, wasting a pair of fine pitching performances. Freddy Peralta gave up one run on four hits and struck out six in six innings and Sean Manaea threw three perfect innings and fanned four. One other bright spot: Carson Benge made an inning-ending, diving catch in...
The New York Mets’ offense continues to be extremely inconsistent and that flashed once again on Sunday at Citi Field. The Mets were shutout for the second time over the last three days, 1-0, and were consequently swept by the Athletics. With the loss, New York drops to 7-9 on the young season. Freddy Peralta toed the rubber for the Mets and turned in a very strong outing. There was some...
David Peterson was roughed up for the second straight start and the Mets lost 7-2 to the Diamondbacks at Citi Field Wednesday, ending a four-game winning streak. Arizona (6-6) scored once in the first inning and a regrettable walk loaded the bases to set the stage for a four-run rally in the second. Peterson issued a five-pitch free pass to No. 9 hitter Jorge Barrosa, who entered the game with a...
Juan Soto’s early-season injury has raised an important question: Which position players are in line for promotions when the Mets call on their minor league depth in 2o26? It’s not a fun topic, but it’s a necessary one. For pitching depth, it’s pretty clear. There are a handful of starters on call in Syracuse, and the same goes for the relievers. For the hitting depth,...

He had his first quality game as a Met after a tough...
It was largely a successful first weekend of the 2026 MLB season for the New York Mets. The new-look team took two out of three from the Pirates. A 4-3 loss in extra innings on Sunday was the only real negative to emerge from the first series of the year. Two of the three games went to extra innings, and there were a lot of positives to focus on. Of course, you have to be careful not to...
In an Opening Day showdown against the Pittsburgh Pirates that seemed destined to become a pitcher’s duel between Freddy Peralta and Paul Skenes, the New York Mets made it a quick day at the office for the reigning NL Cy Young Award winner. After Peralta gave up two earned runs in the top of the first inning on a Brandon Lowe home run, New York came up to bat in the bottom half of the...
