The history of the Mets in the Fall Classic involves some of the most memorable events ever to occur on baseball’s greatest stage. There’s the culmination of a miraculous season and a miraculous comeback that led to a second title, but their three other appearances have also produced milestones that remain special to the franchise. 10.

Sunday, July 13, 2025 • 2:50 pm ET Kauffman Stadium • Kansas City, MO RHP Clay Holmes (8-4, 3.29) vs. LHP Noah Cameron (3-4, 2.56) WPIX The New York Mets go for a sweep this afternoon to end the first half of the season. Juan Soto hit a two-run home run Saturday and that was pretty much all the Mets needed as they held on and beat the Kansas City Royals, 3-1. Manager Carlos Mendoza went all out,...
Getting high-leverage outs has been tough enough for the New York Mets. But navigating the other seven innings has been the real grind. With a rotation riddled by injuries — Kodai Senga, Frankie Montas, Griffin Canning, and Sean Manaea all missing time — the Mets’ bullpen has been asked to do far too much. The result? A relief staff that’s stretched thin, trying to clean up after an...
The first time Mark Vientos came up with the bases loaded Friday, he struck out and broke his bat in frustration. The second time, he hit a go-ahead, three-run double to help lift the Mets to an 8-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. Juan Soto scored from first on the double, sliding around the catcher just ahead of the tag to give the Mets a 4-3 lead in the eighth inning....

After beating the Milwaukee Brewers and New York Yankees in consecutive series, the Mets dropped a doubleheader (and the series) to the Baltimore Orioles yesterday....
The vibe surrounding the New York Mets (53-41) would make it seem as if their season is falling apart. Being 12 games above .500 on July 11, just days before the All-Star break, is pretty solid in my mind. That being said, the Mets are 8-15 since June 15. That is tied for the worst mark in baseball over that stretch. The last month or so has shown us that the Mets may need significant...
Good morning, Mets fans! Also, good morning to any Knicks fans out there! A good Wednesday for the guys in blue started in Arizona where the Mets took the rubber match against the Arizona Diamondbacks by a score of 7-1. Despite having some control issues early on, Kodai Senga found the range and went six innings of shutout ball, lowering his ERA to 1.16 on the season. Along with that, Juan Soto...
Good morning, Mets fans! Opening Day is finally here! After five long months of cold weather and no Mets baseball, Amazin’ fans can rejoice as their club will take the field yet again today. Last season was a wild roller coaster ride that saw the Mets look dead in the water a couple of months in, to doing a complete 180 and going to the sixth game of the NLCS. The squad from Queens has now...
