On a wet day in Philadelphia, the New York Mets played another game that resembled the day itself against the Philadelphia Phillies. An error-driven game, with three errors on the day, and it was marred by mistakes and more Phillies home runs, as the Mets dropped game two of this weekend series 6-1. Sean Manaea wasn’t great by any means on Saturday, but his defense didn’t help him...
Francisco Alvarez entered Thursday night with questions surrounding his future. He left it having provided a timely reminder of why the Mets should be careful about giving up on him. Batting ninth amidst trade speculation, Alvarez homered twice and helped guide the Mets’ pitching staff through a dominant performance in a 4-1 victory over the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. The win moved the Mets...
The Mets have the best record in baseball since the All-Star break. Sure, they are one of only two teams to have played, but after a miserable first half, it’s a start. Francisco Alvarez homered twice, and Christian Scott delivered 5 2/3 shutout innings to help New York beat the Phillies 4-1. The game was pushed an hour earlier due to the poor air quality caused by the Canada wildfires. Scott...
There is no magic cure-all for the 2026 New York Mets. Even after firing manager Carlos Mendoza on Friday, the Mets couldn’t rally under a new voice. Interim manager Andy Green lost two of his first three games in charge in a series loss to the Phillies. While there were some positives on display, we also saw more of the same old problems that have helped to create the current mess the...
Starting pitchers failed the Mets miserably in the three-game losing streak they took into a Wednesday doubleheader with the Cubs at Citi Field. Kodai Senga, David Peterson and Freddy Peralta allowed seven, four and 10 runs, respectively, in the losses. After throwing four scoreless innings, it looked like Nolan McLean would stop the bleeding. New York led 3-0. But with two outs and nobody on in...
All wasn’t lost in Cincinnati for the New York Mets. Yes, the Mets dropped two out of three to the Reds as maddening inconsistency continues to plague this team. Losing this series in Cincinnati made the previous series win against the Braves seem moot. However, this team did show how things could be in the series finale, avoiding the sweep thanks to an ace-like performance and a...
Kevin Parada looked done. The 2022 No. 11 overall pick stumbled his way through the minor leagues, failing to produce an OPS above the mid-700s in any of his first three full seasons. After starting 2026 in Double-A—his third year playing at the level—and hitting .184/.298/.224/.522, there was little hope left. Then, he got promoted. It happened two days after Hayden Senger was promoted to the...
The Mets have been treading water since dropping 12 in a row in April, but these last couple of games vs. the Cardinals they look like a sinking ship. David Peterson coughed up a three-run homer and a two-run homer as St. Louis built a 7-0 lead en route to an 9-2 drubbing of New York (29-38) Wednesday at Citi Field. The Cardinals (37-28) have beat the Mets four out of five this season,...
The Binghamton Rumble Ponies and Brooklyn Cyclones, the Mets’ two worst minor league affiliates so far this season, experienced massive success this past week with two huge series wins. Both teams received standout performances from both pitchers and position players. Continue reading for the latest stats and updates across the Mets’ minor leagues. Triple-A Syracuse The Syracuse Mets...
Francisco Alvarez went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored Sunday in Triple-A Syracuse’s 4-3 victory over Scranton. He also picked off a runner at first and allowed a passed ball. Carlos Mendoza said he could return to the big-league team during the six-game homestand that starts Tuesday. Alvarez has gone 3-for-13 with a double, four strikeouts and one walk in four games at Syracuse. He...
Catcher Chris Suero had a night. He sent a 2-2 pitch over the left-field wall for a three-run, walk-off homer in the 10th inning that gave Double-A Binghamton a 5-4 victory Friday over Reading. You can see the homer and Gatorade shower here. The 22-year-old also tripled, scored twice, and threw out a runner trying to steal. Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (31-29) 4, Syracuse Mets...
Christian Arroyo hit his third home run in five games in a Syracuse walk-off win, Eli Serrano III went yard in an extra-inning win for Binghamton, Jamari Baylor homered in his first game for the Brooklyn Cyclones in their win and Elian Peña had a rare off-day, getting the golden sombrero with four strikeouts in a St. Lucie loss. Triple-A Syracuse Mets (31-29) 3, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders...
