Regrettably, the Mets in Jupiter fell short, succumbing 5-1 with only one run tallied from six hits. Conversely, the...

Hitter of the Week Brandon Nimmo has adapted more of a power...
The New York Mets (85-48) lost in shocking fashion to the Washington Nationals (45-87) tonight at Citi Field. The Mets were only able to score one run off Patrick Corbin, who has been one of the worst qualified starters in MLB. To make matters worse, Max Scherzer came out of the game in the fifth inning due to fatigue in his left side. The Mets starter missed seven weeks earlier in the season...

The young phenom has a career slash line of .291/.426/.539, with 118 home runs and 357 runs batted in. He has also walked more than he has struck out in his career, 456 to 411.

On November 14, 2018, Jacob deGrom won his first Cy Young Award. He would go on to repeat the feat in 2019, making it back-to-back years in which he was recognized as the best pitcher in the National League. The 2018 season was a bit of a statistical anomaly for deGrom, in that he led National League pitchers in several categories, but did not distinguish himself in wins. DeGrom finished the...

That record would later grow to the road team winning all seven games. Then the starting pitchers:...
