Friday was another footnote in the race for the third wild card. The Diamondbacks lost again to the Padres, officially eliminating them from playoff contention. They join the Giants as the latest and final National League West team to be eliminated from a chance at the pennant. The fact the Diamondbacks were even in the race to begin with was impressive. Entering September, the club was 68-71...
Good morning, Mets fans. The Mets (82-78) fell to the Marlins (78-82) 6-2 Friday night. New York got out to a 2-0 lead just four batters into the game but couldn’t muster up any offense afterwards. The team’s sloppy defense continued, and it contributed greatly to a six-run fifth inning for the Marlins that put the game to bed. Meanwhile, the Reds (82-78) won their game over the...
Good morning, Mets fans! The Mets fell 10-3 to the Cubs at Wrigley Field on Wednesday, as they struggled against Cubs starter Matthew Boyd. Francisco Alvarez was a bright spot with a massive two-run homer, and Juan Soto added a solo shot in the eighth, but the Mets couldn’t overcome the Cubs’ early offensive outburst. Seiya Suzuki, Moisés Ballesteros and Matt Shaw led Chicago’s offense, with...
As many foresaw back in early June, the Mets’ season is coming down to the wire. In what is proving to be a chaotic final week, New York regained control of their playoff destiny Tuesday night with a 9-7 win over the Cubs at Wrigley Field. The Mets had fallen behind the Reds in the race for the final Wild Card spot on Sunday for the first time since April 5. While tied in the win-loss column...
The Mets’ grip on the postseason is fading fast. Sunday’s 3-2 loss to the Nationals was their 11th defeat in the last 15 games, and this one carried more weight than most. It dropped them into a tie with the Reds at 80-76 for the final NL Wild Card spot. The catch? Cincinnati owns the tiebreaker, leaving New York on the outside looking in. The Diamondbacks (79-77) lurk just one game back, while...
Consider this weekend a golden opportunity wasted by the New York Mets. Taking two out of three, or even sweeping the series against the Reds, would have all but closed the door on Cincinnati’s postseason chances. Instead, the Mets dropped two of three in another frustrating weekend. As a result, the NL East race looks all but over. Furthermore, the race for the playoffs is far from being...

With 22 games to go, the New York Mets (75-65) are not completely safe in the National League playoff picture. As play begins Friday, they own the third Wild Card spot, four games ahead of the San Francisco Giants. The Mets also remain six games back of the Philadelphia Phillies in the NL East with four head-to-head matchups remaining. There is still a lot to play for. The Mets got off to a good...
Good morning, Mets fans! The Mets defeated the Braves 12-7 on Friday night. The offense woke up in a big way, recording 21 hits, while Nolan McLean dazzled in seven strong innings. Reed Garrett and Ryan Helsley faltered, though, and gave up a combined five runs over the final two innings. With the Mets’ win, and the Phillies and Reds both losing, the Mets gained ground in both the NL East...
Alex Carrillo, a 28-year-old rookie making his third career appearance, was touched up for three home runs Friday as the Mets dropped their second-half opener 8-4 to the Cincinnati Reds at Citi Field. Carrillo (0-1) got the first two batters he faced when he entered in the fifth inning with the Mets up 2-1, but then hit TJ Friedl on the foot before Matt McLain launched a two-run shot to give the...
