The Mets (25-30) evened their series against Tampa Bay (36-20) with a 5-2 triumph over the Rays on Tuesday night at Citi Field. Pete Alonso contributed greatly to the win. He went 2-for-3 with a homer and a walk in his most productive night in weeks, after going just 12-for-66 in the month of September. He drove in three of five runs for New York in what would be the deciding factor of the...
The New York Mets were defeated by the Tampa Bay Rays by a score of 2-1 (Box Score). After lasting just two innings in his previous start due to hamstring spasms, NL Cy Young candidate Jacob deGrom returned to the mound for the Amazins’ and was impressive. DeGrom had a much better outing going seven innings while allowing two-runs, on four hits, matching his career high with 14 strikeouts. For...
The Mets (21-27) dropped their third straight on Tuesday evening with a 4-1 loss to the division-rival Phillies in the first of a three-game series at Citizens Bank Park. They are now 2-6 against Philadelphia this season.

The Mets (19-24) dropped the first of a two-game series against the Orioles (20-21) Tuesday evening in Queens. The loss was an all around disaster as New York’s bats went cold and the pitching staff was absolutely clobbered. Mets’ pitchers gave up 14 hits, walked two, and struck out seven. They allowed four home runs. Michael Wacha took the loss and is now 1-3 on the season. As a team, New...
The Mets (16-21) snapped their five-game losing streak and evened out the two-game series against the Orioles (16-20) with a 9-4 triumph in Baltimore on Wednesday afternoon.

Unfortunately, deGrom would be credited with a no-decision after the Marlins rallied for three against the Mets bullpen to...
[tps_start_button label=”Start slideshow” style=”” class=””] The Mets finished Wednesday night’s doubleheader down in the dumps in a 3-0 loss against the Marlins as their offense could not produce yet again.

New York Mets’ on-base machine Brandon Nimmo continued his recent rampage at the plate Tuesday night, going 3-for-5 with two RBI’s, coming up a double shy of the cycle. Batting leadoff for the sixteenth time this season, Nimmo began his night with a screaming liner that was caught by the third baseman. The resilient Nimmo came up to the plate in the third, looking to straighten out that...
Walker Lockett gave us what we all expected to get out of him — an outing with spurts of success that ultimately did not get the job done for the Mets. Lockett was called upon on short notice, after Mets’ ace Jacob deGrom was scratched this afternoon with neck tightness. Lockett was quite unsuccessful for the orange and blue in 2019, appearing in eight games, starting two, and putting up...
To say that the Mets started off this series with a lack of energy and an inability to find their rhythm is putting it rather lightly.

Thursday’s win featured amazing performances both defensively and offensively, winning by a landslide with a score of 8-2, most of which was due to Tomas Nido’s...
