Good morning, Mets fans! Frankie Montas struggled yet again on Wednesday, making his place in the Mets’ rotation a point of contention. The newly acquired Montas had a line of 5.0 IP, 7 H, 5 R, 1 BB, 2 K (80 pitches, 47 strikes) in his sixth rehab start since returning from a high grade lat strain. This outing actually lowered his ERA in rehab starts this season to 13.19 as he has given up...
Good morning, Mets fans! On Wednesday, the Mets finished off their seven-game homestand with a bang. After a Brett Baty two-run homer off of Zack Wheeler, offense was hard to come by as it was knotted at 2-2 going into the eighth. The Mets’ defense continued to keep them in the game, as Juan Soto gunned out Nick Castellanos at the plate in the eighth inning, eventually sending the game...

If the series reached Game 7, that meant the Astros would be able to throw ex-Met Mike Scott one more time—and the Mets couldn’t hit Mike Scott. In Game 1, Scott threw a complete game shutout with 14 strikeouts. In...

Good morning, Mets fans! Wow… We’ve seen plenty of bizarre days in Flushing and Wednesday made a case to be high on that list. The day started with a gut punch as the Mets lost their closer, Edwin Díaz, to the IL with a right shoulder impingement. But, that would only be the beginning. Early in the Mets’ 10-3 loss to the Dodgers, Pete Alonso left the game after getting hit by a...
