The Mets (73-87) took on the Nationals (76-84) in the first game of a three-game set at Nationals Park. The Mets began the final series of the year looking to avoid finishing in last place in the NL East. Unfortunately, that dream is no more, as the Mets lost 7-6 in a back-and-forth game. The Mets’ offense got going in a hurry, with Juan Soto hitting an infield single, Bo Bichette...
Friday, September 25, 2026 • 6:45 PM Nationals Park • Washington, DC LHP Jefry Yan (2-1, 4.34) vs. LHP Andrew Alvarez (2-6, 3.17) WPIX The Mets head to D.C. for the final series of the 2026 season. It’s been a disappointing season for the Mets, who started the year with World Series aspirations. Things fell apart fairly quickly, but since the trade deadline, the Mets have been playing better...
The final weekend of the MLB regular season has arrived! While the drama and chaos will take place elsewhere, the New York Mets (73-86) will still be in action for three more games. They will face the Washington Nationals (75-84) following a series win over the Texas Rangers earlier this week. Let’s take a look at some notes ahead of the three pitching matchups this weekend. PITCHING...
The New York Mets are looking to finish the 2026 season with a flourish. In the penultimate series of the year, the Mets took two out of three from a Texas Rangers team fighting for their playoff lives. There were yet more signs of encouragement for next year. Furthermore, it also proved to be a significant few days off the field too. The Mets gave Andy Green the manager’s job on a...
Last November, the Mets traded Brandon Nimmo to the Texas Rangers for Marcus Semien. When you frame the trade like that it is easy to look at Semien’s .624 OPS and Nimmo’s .731 OPS and think it is a trade the Mets should regret, but it was never truly a one-for-one trade in that sense. Semien was never acquired with the expectation that he would replicate Nimmo’s offense. He was the best return...
Going into 2026, Zac Thornton wasn’t one of the Mets’ blue-chip prospects. But after he spent most of the first half of the year in the minors, he got called up in July and proved down the stretch why he belongs. Thornton’s final start of the year was another solid one. He allowed two runs over five innings against the Texas Rangers on Thursday, giving up four hits while walking one...
Friday, September 28, 2026 • 2:35 PM Globe Life Field • Arlington, TX LHP Zac Thornton (5-5, 3.40) vs. RHP Kumar Rocker (5-11, 4.47) SNY The Mets look to complete the sweep of the Rangers this afternoon! The Mets took the lead first Wednesday night thanks to a Juan Soto home run. The Rangers eventually tied it before Marcus Semien put the Mets ahead again with a solo shot of his own. Then Brett...
Wednesday night, game two of the Andy Green era, ended with another Mets win. The Mets won the second game of a three-game set against the Texas Rangers by a score of 7-2. Juan Soto had a huge day, reaching base four times, scoring two runs, and driving in two on a third-inning two-run home run. Then, Marcus Semien and Brett Baty did the rest offensively, providing huge home runs late in the...
The Syracuse Mets finished their season 5-1 in a six-game series against the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs. Despite the strong finish, the Mets just missed clinching a spot in the postseason by 1.5 games, meaning their season has come to an end. After a very successful season across the organization a year ago, none of the Mets’ four full-season minor league affiliates made a postseason this...
The New York Mets signed off at Citi Field for 2026 in typically frustrating fashion. In what was the final home series of the year, the Mets split with the Phillies, with both teams winning two games apiece. Some inconsistent pitching didn’t help. As a result, the Mets finished the 2026 season 36-45 at home, which sums up just how disappointing this season has been. The team also bid an...
Good morning, Mets fans! Yankees superstar Aaron Judge is headed back to the injured list, this time with a right calf strain. It is highly unlikely Judge returns for the end of the regular season, and his status beyond that is uncertain as well. When healthy this year, Judge has an .871 OPS which is a poor season for his standards. The Yankees are 89-64, four games behind the Rays for the AL...
Zac Thornton and the Mets (69-84) took on the Phillies (85-68) in the second game of a four-game set at Citi Field. Thornton made his second-to-last start of the season, looking to finish off a wonderful rookie season. He would do just that, pitching six innings of two-run ball in the Mets 6-3 win Thornton took the mound for the top of the first, looking to begin his outing without allowing a...
