3 Up, 3 Down: Mets Avoid Sweep Against Cincinnati

The misery keeps on coming for the New York Mets. In a less-than-ideal start to the homestand, the Mets dropped two out of three to the Reds at Citi Field.

Even at full health, it is hard to have any faith...

Soto’s Two Homers Not Enough to Beat Nats

Juan Soto hit two 400-plus foot home runs, but it wasn’t enough to overcome a rocky MLB debut by Zach Thornton as the Nats beat the Mets 8-4 Wednesday at Nationals Park. Thornton, 24, struggled immediately, giving up a single and a walk in the first inning before CJ Abrams teed off on an 85 mph cutter for a 389-foot, three-run homer, his 10th of the season and first off of a lefty.
