It was Justin Verlander on the mound for the Mets against Chase Anderson for the home Colorado Rockies. The Rockies dominated early, finding their way to a 6-0 lead over the Mets until the fourth inning. Pete Alonso came up in the fourth and hit a solo home run to put the Mets on...

Starling Marte finished a tough week in the most memorable manner possible after making an emotional return to the Mets at the weekend. Activated off the bereavement list, Marte was back in the lineup for New York on Saturday against the Rockies at Coors Field. And it didn’t take long for an incredible script to be dropped from the heavens. Marte lost his grandmother, Brigada Gonzalez, who...
The Mets acquired Yoenis Céspedes at the trade deadline with the hopes he could spark an offense that far too often was barely flickering. Despite his new team moving into first place shortly after his arrival, and building 3.5-game advantage in the NL East, the former Detroit Tiger struggled to get going three weeks in. His .274 average with two homers and eight RBIs in seventy-three at-bats...
3 UP 1. Stro Show As Steven Matz will tell you, Marcus Stroman raises his game when [Ward] Melville is on the other side. We saw exactly that happen when Stroman had his best start in a Mets uniform. In fact, when you consider the start was in Coors Field and what was on the line, this was probably Stroman’s best start of the season. Over seven dominant innings, Stroman shut down the...

3 UP 1. Mets Can Score Again Sometimes, all you need to rejuvenate a moribund offense is a trip to Colorado. A couple of games in Arizona doesn’t hurt either. After needing 15 games to score 31 runs, the New York Mets have scored 52 runs over their past six games. Yes, Coors Field helps this, but Michael Conforto being Michael Conforto again also helps. To a lesser extent, the return of...
In a classic Coors Field game on Wednesday night, the New York Mets lost to the Colorado Rockies by a 10-8 score though the Mets had plenty of chances to plate even more runs. The biggest chance that they squandered was in the sixth inning when Dominic Smith doubled to lead off the innings, Devin Mesoraco walked and Jose Reyes walked to load the bases with one out. The Mets were trailing 9-8 in...
