David Peterson was ineffective and wild and Sean Manaea was arguably worse. A day after the Mets scored seven runs in the fourth inning, the Nationals pulled the same trick en route to a 14-2 victory Wednesday at Citi Field. Peterson, making his first start since April 13 after being demoted to the bullpen, gave up three hard singles to his first four batters. The Nationals led 1-0 and had...
It was not a good weekend in New York baseball. And it was an especially tough weekend for the New York Mets. The Mets were swept by the A’s in a series where their offense again failed to show up. Poor pitching and mental lapses also defined all three games. As a result, the Mets have now lost five straight and have dropped to 7-9 on the year. Furthermore, they have scored just nine runs...
The Mets had a rough weekend across the board, capped off by a 1-0 loss against the Athletics on Sunday.

One other bright spot: Carson Benge made an inning-ending, diving catch in...

Freddy Peralta toed the rubber for the Mets and turned in a very strong outing. There was some...
David Peterson was roughed up for the second straight start and the Mets lost 7-2 to the Diamondbacks at Citi Field Wednesday, ending a four-game winning streak.

Peterson issued a five-pitch free pass to No. 9 hitter Jorge Barrosa, who entered the game with a...
It was largely a successful first weekend of the 2026 MLB season for the New York Mets. The new-look team took two out of three from the Pirates. A 4-3 loss in extra innings on Sunday was the only real negative to emerge from the first series of the year. Two of the three games went to extra innings, and there were a lot of positives to focus on. Of course, you have to be careful not to...
Good morning, Mets fans! To send or not to send? The Mets lost their first game of the season Sunday, 4-3, to the Pirates in 10 innings.

A dozen Marlins up, a dozen down. Sean Manaea hurled four perfect innings Tuesday, struck out four, but still faced questions from the media afterward about his velocity. “It’s low, but at the end of the day I feel good,” he said after the Mets tied the Marlins 5-5 in front of 3,416 in Jupiter, Fla. “I’m not concerned about it whatsoever. I know when I get up to...
