It’s the second consecutive month he’s been recognized as the best arm in the league.
Jonah Tong has been named Eastern League Pitcher of the Month for June, one month after he received the same award in May. He’s the first player in Binghamton history to win the award in back-to-back months.
Tong made 5 starts in June, going 3-0 with a 0.93 ERA over 29 innings. He struck out 43 and walked only 9, good for an extraordinary 31.8% K-BB%. Throw in May as well...

David Peterson and the bats were just good enough tonight, and the Mets have won two straight.
Prior to tonight’s rain-delayed game, the Mets got some more tough injury news. Quite simply, the pitching staff is in taters right now, and the team will need to find a way to win with some less than ideal names taking the ball for them between now and the All-Star break. Given that reality, it’s more important than ever for the established pitchers to provide...

The Mets have made yet another flurry of roster moves involving the pitching staff ahead of tonight’s game, as the injuries to their arms continue unabated.
The Mets’ pitching staff is experiencing yet more turnover today, as the Mets made so many roster moves that they needed two pages of graphics to cover all of the transactions on their social media posts announcing the moves.
An already battered pitching staff is sending two more arms to the...
David Stearns addressed one narrative surrounding his team's acquisition of Soto.

Meet the MetsAfter getting rained out the night before, the Mets doubleheader against the Brewers got off to a rough start. They had the lead when starter Clay Holmes exited but once the bullpen entered the game quickly got out of hand and a close game turned into a blowout.
In the nightcap the team had a tough task facing Milwaukee phenom Jacob Misiorowski, but...
The Mets are calling up reliever Rico Garcia, reports Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. They’ll formally select his contract tomorrow and already have an opening on the 40-man roster.

The Mets needed a win and thanks to some of their cornerstone players—one of whom is now an All-Star—they got one.
The Mets apparently lost the first game they played today. If you were a smart person such as myself, you had other plans during the day and didn’t watch it. But most of us watched some amount of the catastrophe in Pittsburgh this weekend. Or some of the other awful losses that have occurred over the past couple weeks. Point being, you don’t have...
Brandon Nimmo belted a grand slam and Francisco Lindor drove in three runs, helping the host New York Mets salvage a split of their doubleheader against the Milwaukee Brewers with a 7-3 victory on Wednesday.

Lindor will finally make a long-overdue appearance in the game as a Met.
Francisco Lindor will start at shortstop for the National League in the All-Star Game, as he’s won the second phase of voting for the starting gig over Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts. Believe it or not, this is Lindor’s first All-Star nod as a Met despite his excellent body of work since joining the team.
At the time of this writing, Lindor is hitting...

Woof.
The Mets had a lead and were getting a good start out of Clay Holmes, and then the wheels fell off. When the smoke settled, the Mets lost their fourth straight game 7-2 to the Brewers.
The Brewers got off to an early lead when Sal Frelick led off the game with a solo home run. After that, Holmes settled down and, while he was walking more batters than anyone would’ve liked (including loading the bases in the fifth), he was getting out of jams...
