Asdrubal Cabrera made them wait a few minutes longer. But the Mets, who have lost more than their share of gut-wrenching games this season, eventually picked Cabrera up with a walk-off, 12-inning, 5-4 win over the Brewers. Five innings after Cabrera’s dropped popup at shortstop allowed the Brewers to tie the game, Jay Bruce singled home the winning run. T.J.... more

Following one of his best starts of the season, Jacob deGrom spun yet another gem, and hometown hero Neil Walker provided the offense with two homers and four RBIs in the Mets’ 8-1 win over the Pirates at PNC Park on Friday. deGrom was masterful over 8 1/3 innings, striking out 10 and walking just one. After holding a 3.99... more

All it took was a trip across the country for the Padres to cure their losing ways. Behind Dinelson Lamet’s five strong innings and eight strikeouts in his Major League debut, the Padres scored a 4-3 win over the Mets on Thursday night at Citi Field — their first series win of any kind in May. The Padres have suddenly... more

Matt Harvey’s struggles this season have been both well-documented and well-defined. And while Harvey did little to boost his fading reputation on Tuesday, his teammates boosted him plenty with a seven-run first inning in the Mets’ 9-3 win over the Padres at Citi Field. Michael Conforto homered, singled and drove in three runs in the first inning alone, finishing with... more

Given new life Wednesday, the Padres wasted little time turning what would have been their seventh loss in eight games into a much-needed win.

Cron hit a first-inning grand slam off Tommy Milone... more

So often when the Mets have needed a win in recent years, they have felt most comfortable giving the ball to Jacob deGrom. And the Mets needed a win in the worst way Friday, opening their homestand amidst the exhaust fumes of a seven-game losing streak. Mets.com: Read More more

The D-backs used a four-run rally in the third inning and a sixth-inning homer from Yasmany Tomas to beat the Mets, 5-4, on Tuesday night and extend New York’s losing streak to six games.

Michael Conforto scored four runs, drove in three and finished a single shy of the cycle for the Mets, but the Brewers mounted their biggest comeback in six years, erasing a six-run deficit for a wild 11-9 win on Mother’s Day at Miller Park. Keon Broxton sparked the comeback with a two-run home run in the sixth inning, Jonathan Villar... more

It had been exactly two years since the Giants won a game that they trailed after eight innings, their offense consistently unable to provide late drama. But the Mets are experts in all sorts of drama. Amidst that perfect storm, the Giants came from behind against Mets closer Jeurys Familia to score four runs in the ninth on Wednesday, earning... more

All it took were injuries to their two best players for the Mets to transform into one of the National League’s most potent teams. New York’s offense remained at a boiling point throughout Saturday’s 11-3 win over the Marlins, the Mets’ third straight victory and their sixth in eight games. For the fourth time in five nights, the Mets batted... more

Their rotations in flux, the Marlins and Mets each found themselves in need of spot starts on Sunday. For the Marlins, things worked out as well as they could have hoped.
