The Mets’ six-game winning streak came to a decisive end this afternoon in LA, as the Dodgers shellacked the Amazins 10-0 to avoid the sweep. It was a crisp first couple of innings for both Adrian Houser and Tyler Glasnow, but the warning signs were there early for Houser. A ground ball pitcher who traditionally does not walk many batters was getting all of his outs via fly balls and walking too many batters. Eventually it caught up to him in a big way. In the bottom of the third, Houser issued...

On a cloudy spring day at Citi Field, the Mets defeated the Pirates for their first sweep of the season.

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...
The starting pitching matchup tonight was a potent reminder of the road not taken. In the offseason, the Mets made it clear that their top free agent target was Japanese ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and they made every effort to convince him to come to New York. Alas, the allure of teaming up with Shohei Ohtani for the powerhouse Dodgers proved too alluring, and David Stearns and company were forced to pivot to a cheaper option in the form of Sean Manaea. The expectations for the Mets wouldn’t have...

It is a common hack to stretch a balloon out to make it easier to inflate. When the balloon stretches, the width crosswise shrinks to the size of a string. Noah Stocek, a Ph.D. student collaborating with Western physicist Giovanni Fanchini, has developed a new nanomaterial that demonstrates the opposite of this phenomenon.
