On a cloudy spring day at Citi Field, the Mets defeated the Pirates for their first sweep of the season. Luis Severino was on the mound and continued his strong start to the season, having his best performance yet as a Met. Going six innings for the first time in his short Mets’ career, Severino allowed just one unearned run, while striking out four batters. The one run Severino surrendered came in the third inning, where Henry Davis reached base on catchers interference. After allowing a hit...
Much like Sunday afternoon’s contest, a pitcher’s duel broke out in Flushing Monday evening, this time with Adrian Houser matching up with the Pirates’ Martin Perez. Both starters pitched around some trouble early, with Houser stranding two runners in both the second and third innings. This time, the zeroes ceased in the sixth inning, with the Pirates breaking through for three runs in the top of the frame. Ke’Bryan Hayes led off with a walk, advanced to second on a force out, and game around to...
After a rainout and a well-needed day off, the Mets let their rested bats loose, picking up 16 hits and 16 runs on their way to an easy win over the Braves, 16-4.

A walk and two singles led to a run in the fourth, A walk, a double, and an error led to a pair of runs in the second, putting the Mets up 3-0. In the third, the Mets broke the game wide open. Back to back doubles by Francisco...
The Mets and Braves were rained out with the game rescheduled for September 26. The team transferred Kodai Senga to the 60-day IL which means his original return date of May 27 will now be pushed back. After transferring their ace to the 60-day, they called up Tyler Jay to take his spot on the 40-man roster. Jay had to battle a medical issue before finding his way back to baseball. With Senga not returning any time soon, how will the team continue to navigate his injury? Collectors Holdings,...
The Mets and Braves have been postponed tonight because of rain in the Atlanta area, and the game will be made up on September 26. Each team has won one game thus far in the series, and they’re set to wrap up the series tomorrow afternoon at 12:20 PM EDT. There’s some rain in the forecast tomorrow, too, and it wouldn’t be shocking if that game were delayed. But it does look like they’ll be able to play it. With the postponement, the Mets get an unexpected off day in the middle of this stretch...
On Monday, the country was treated to a rare and awe-inspiring sight, on that doesn’t come around often but, when it does, lets people rejoice and understand the beauty of existence. No, I’m not talking about the solar eclipse (well, not exclusively). I’m referring to the Mets defeating the Braves, which they did with in thrilling, come-from-behind fashion, 8-7. The Mets came into this game with losses in 11 of their last 13 games at Truist Park dating back to August 2022, but they found a way...
