It’s very rare that one player beats an entire team. But Noah Syndergaard pretty much defeated the Cincinnati Reds single-handedly. For the first time in 36 years, he became the first pitcher to homer and throw a complete game in a 1-0 victory. Syndergaard went the distance for the third time in his big-league career on this Thursday afternoon at Citi Field. The other two complete games...
Bartolo Colon, Steven Matz, Zack Wheeler, Orlando Hernandez, Livan Hernandez, Dock Ellis, Matt Harvey, Jacob deGrom and Pat Misch all have one thing in common from their days with the Mets. One complete game shutout. Misch – a soft-tossing left-hander that finished with a career 4.80 ERA – threw one of the most improbable games in Mets history on September 27, 2009. The competitive...
Zack Wheeler’s rip-roaring comeback season reached new heights last night, as the righty twirled eight shutout innings while striking out seven and walking none en route to a 13-0 beatdown of the Miami Marlins last night. Wheeler last eclipsed eight frames on June 19, 2014, when he pulled off a complete game, three-hit shutout in Miami. At 87 last night, his game score checked in as the...

Going into the seventh inning, the Mets had a 2-0 lead, thanks to Brandon Nimmo and a good start by Zack Wheeler. Then the bullpen came in and promptly...
This is the second part of our four part series in which we choose our 25 man roster from the Mets minor leagues based strictly on their numbers and not on their prospect rankings. The first part addressed the “starting lineup.” The following two parts will address the bench and the bullpen. Missing from this list is Seth Lugo and Robert Gsellman, who had their struggles in AAA. Regardless of...
JACOB DEGROM – 2016 TOPPS NOW AVAILABLE UNTIL 2:30 PM EST ON 7/19/16 Topps Trading Cards is honoring Jacob deGrom for his dominating shutout victory against the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday.

Sunday, May 28, 2016 • 8:08 p.m. Citi Field • Flushing, N.Y. LHP Clayton Kershaw (7-1, 1.48) vs. RHP Bartolo Colon (4-3, 3.44) ESPN • WOR 710 AM • ESPN 1050 AM Well last night was, interesting. The night started off with a beautiful ceremony to recognize the 1986 Mets. Then came the game and things went down hill quickly. Syndergaard threw a pitch behind Utley, which under any other circumstance...
Despite an inconsistent postseason in 2015, Johnny Cueto delivered an incredible performance last night in Game 2 of the World Series. He fired nine outstanding innings while allowing only one run and two hits. It was a tremendous rebound for Cueto, who allowed eight runs in his last start against the Blue Jays. However, he kept the Mets’ lineup completely off balanced last night with...

Jacob deGrom (14-8, 2.54) steps into the spotlight as the Mets Game 1 starter and he will oppose none other than left-hander Clayton Kershaw (16-7, 2.13) for the Dodgers. The Mets have won all...
On Sunday, April 12th, 2009, left fielder Daniel Murphy drifted towards the warning track inside Dolphins Stadium in Miami, FL. Johan Santana was on the mound and just a few games into the season, Murphy was about to blow a game for the New York Mets with a big error. Josh Johnson would go on to pitch a complete game shutout while Santana got a tough luck 2-1 loss. This April, that memory will...
