Zero offense and sloppy baseball ultimately doomed the New York Mets in St. Louis. The Mets dropped their first series of the year after losing two out of three to the rebuilding Cardinals. That included an all-around bad effort in the finale. It was the lack of offense in clutch situations that really concerned, however. And it is something the Mets will have to try and fix on the fly in a...
Good morning, Mets fans! On Friday, the Mets announced that Paul Blackburn would begin a rehab assignment with High-A Brooklyn. Blackburn made that start Friday night, and he allowed two runs in three innings while striking out six batters. Blackburn has yet to appear in a major league game this year but he’s on his way, and he will certainly be counted on for innings either as a sixth...
Griffin Canning outperforming Sonny Gray was not on anybody’s bingo card Monday night. Canning’s dominance and Gray’s lack thereof set the tone for the game between the Mets and Cardinals, powering the Mets to a resounding 8-0 victory. Canning, who enters 2025 with a career 4.78 ERA in five MLB seasons, looked sharp as he started his first game this spring. It was his second...
The Mets took the field on Monday for an early afternoon matchup against the Cardinals at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium in Jupiter. Blade Tidwell, a top arm in the Mets’ system who struggled a year ago in Syracuse, got the start for New York. Meanwhile, old friend Steven Matz was on the bump for St. Louis. The teams battled hard for nine innings, with the Cardinals coming out on top 7-4....
After losing their series against the Angels, the Mets (59-53) interrupted their West Coast road trip for a one-game stop in St. Louis on Monday to take on the Cardinals (57-56). The matchup between the Wild Card hopefuls needed to be made up from early May when their originally scheduled game was canceled due to rain. Sean Manaea (8-4, 3.30 ERA) and Andre Pallante (4-6, 4.43 ERA) took the...
The New York Mets are enjoying an off day having taken the series against the Cardinals. Although the final game was rained out, the Mets took the opening two contests to move back to .500 with an 18-18 record. It was the team’s first series win since April 19-21. Granted, the Cardinals aren’t exactly a great baseball team right now (15-21), but you can only beat what is put in-front...
When the Mets (17-18) faced the Cardinals (15-20) just over a week ago at Citi Field, it was an ugly series loss for the Mets. The Mets lost the first two games but salvaged a win in the final matchup. This time around, the Mets grabbed the first game of the series 4-3 to record their first win on their road trip. The Mets scored an unusual first inning run off of St. Louis starter Kyle...
Good morning, Mets fans! J.D. Martinez made his Mets debut on Friday and impressed by going 2-for-4 with an RBI. He started off the game with a ground ball single down the right field line and then added an RBI double that hit the wall in right field. In addition to his two hits, Martinez also recorded two strikeouts, but any doubts about his bat being ready seem to be quashed. With Martinez...
Good morning, Mets fans! The Mets defeated the Cardinals on Friday night 7-1, giving the team three consecutive wins for the first time since July 16-19. The team is in the midst of a solid stretch, having won five of their last six, after looking completely flat following the trade deadline. With their better play of late, even with that abysmal stretch after their sell-off, the Mets enter...
The Mets took on the Cardinals in the second game of a four-game series on Friday night. After getting the best of the Cardinals on Thursday, the Mets came out on top again by defeating the Cardinals 7-1. The key to the Mets’ victory was a strong pitching performance by Joey Lucchesi, who made his first big league start since May 13. After loading the bases in the first inning, he managed to...
Good morning, Mets fans! The Mets defeated the Cardinals 6-1 on Friday night, giving them consecutive wins for the first time in June. The Mets entered the game with a 3-9 record during the month, struggling mightily and failing to gain any sort of momentum. Now with two straight wins and two more games against the reeling Cardinals on deck, the Mets have a chance to get back on track. During...
