Mets 4, Cardinals 3: Just like you drew it up

Jeff Curry-USA TODAY Sports

Timely hitting, productive outs, a near-perfect bullpen and a quality start give the Mets a very unremarkable, but welcome, victory to snap a three game losing streak.

The Mets got back in the win column after a very annoying three game losing streak in the most ho-hum way possible: through timely hitting, quality pitching, and Edwin Díaz looking great after a blown save yesterday.

The Mets struck first, getting on the board with two outs in the top of...

A quick review of how the Mets’ pitchers fared over the past week.

The Mets have pitched very well as a team overall this season, but this week is one of the rougher weeks for the pitching thus far. Obviously the standout bad performance was that of José Quintana on Friday, but perhaps more importantly the bullpen that had looked so infallible has suddenly looked a lot more fallible of late. The highlight of the week on the pitching side is...

A quick review of how the Mets’ position players fared over the past week.

The Mets’ offense continues to be maddeningly inconsistent. This week, they were 25th out of 30 teams in team wRC+. A big part of that is that Pete Alonso is mired in a massive slump, so the Mets have been without a major power threat in their lineup. Though Francisco Lindor had his second straight good week and Brett Baty broke out for a massive performance on Friday (a...

Can the Mets regain their mojo against the Red Birds?

What a difference a weekend can make. At the time of our last series preview, the Mets had just split a series with the Cubs and had, perhaps, their best pitching matchups of the season lined up for a weekend series against the Rays.

Despite getting a quality, electric start from a debuting Christian Scott, the Mets couldn’t muster a single victory this weekend, losing...

Dominic Hamel had his second absolute clunker start of the year (the first being his very first appearance of 2024) and the offense didn’t show up. Mark Vientos hit a solo homer, so that’s nice; he also struck out twice.

Mets blow late lead in ugly game, lose to Rays, get swept

The Mets are now 16-18 on the season.

The Mets and Rays played an ugly game of baseball, and the Mets blew a slim lead in the ninth before going on to lose 7-6 in ten innings.

Mets pitchers issued eleven walks—a staggering amount—in the game, with Luis Severino walking six in five innings. Coming off his best start of the year his last time out, Severino went five innings and gave up four runs—all earned—with six strikeouts to go with the...

Meet the Mets

Christian Scott was fantastic in his major league debut, striking out six Rays hitters and allowing just one run over 6 2?3 innings of work. But the Mets’ anemic offense struck again, as they fell to the Rays 3-1. The game was a pitcher’s duel early and the Rays won the battle of the bullpens; Adam Ottavino and Sean Reid-Foley each walked in a run with the bases...

The Syracuse Mets scored early and often, driving in a run in the first, second, third, and fourth. The Red Wings chipped away in the middle innings, scoring in the fourth and fifth, but the back half of the bullpen shut them down; Tyler Jay tossed three scoreless innings, now allowing a single baserunner, and Josh Walker...

Rays 3, Mets 1 - Great Scott, Bad Offense

Kim Klement Neitzel-USA TODAY Sports

The Mets waste a great debut on a stinker of an offensive game in St. Pete.

The Mets got a stellar debut from their fifth best prospect but could not wake their bats from slumber as they dropped their second straight to the Rays, 3-1. Both teams got great starting pitching, but the Rays were able to simply convert more of their baserunners into runs.

Both starting pitchers faced some early difficulties in the first inning. Brandon Nimmo led off the game...

Scott is set to make his major league debut tonight against the Rays.

Tonight in Tampa Bay, Christian Scott will take the mound for the Mets in his major league debut. The 24-year-old right-handed pitcher has put up impressive strikeout and walk rates in five starts with the Triple-A Syracuse Mets to start his season, and he has a 3.20 ERA at that level in 25.1 innings of work.
