All in all, they finished their first road trip of the year 4-3. Furthermore, several encouraging trends emerged from the series against the Giants. The pitching continued to look strong, while the offense showed...
Good morning, Mets fans! Let’s not leave the bats in San Francisco. Luis Torrens’ go-ahead, two-run double keyed a four-run eighth inning on Sunday and the Mets (6-4) won 5-2 to take three out of four from the Giants. He was pinch-hitting for Jared Young, who went 3-for-3 and threw out a runner at second on a ball hit off the left-field wall. Young, who was making his second career...

Sunday night, Rawlings announced the 2025 Gold Glove winners. The New York Mets had two finalists, those being catcher Luis Torrens and starting pitcher David Peterson. Each were named a finalist on October 15. At catcher, San Francisco Giants backstop Patrick Bailey got the nod. It was well deserved as Bailey turned in a sensational season behind the plate. He ranked in the 100th percentile in...

However, he was hit on the arm a couple of days ago, and per Jon Heyman of the New York Post, the team...
Overall, it was mission accomplished in Detroit for the New York Mets. They took two out of three from the Tigers, who are now the second-best team in the American League. However, another bad outing from a struggling reliever ensured a series sweep was a bridge too far. Nonetheless, the Mets rebounded from an embarrassing series loss to the Marlins and took care of business against a very good...
Luis Torrens sees the “flair of a superstar,” Carlos Mendoza liked the way he attacked and Pete Alonso took notice of the way rookie Nolan McLean prepared between starts. McLean shook off a poor first inning to strike out seven in six innings, leading the Mets to a 12-5 victory at Detroit on Tuesday and becoming the first Mets pitcher to win his first four career starts. His 28...
Six pitches were all it took for Jonah Tong to finish his first inning as a major leaguer. A soft lineout, then a pair of first-pitch fly-ball outs, and just like that, the 22-year-old had recorded three outs before the blink of an eye. There had to have been some first-inning jitters — of course there were — but they didn’t get the better of him. He was in a big-league game, wearing a Mets...
