Noah Syndergaard’s seventh career start against the Marlins was much like the first six — dominant. After a quick turnaround from Saturday night’s extra-innings loss, which included 4 1/3 innings from the Mets’ bullpen, New York needed a quality start from its horse on Sunday and the right-hander delivered. Syndergaard went seven frames, striking out seven and allowing three runs... more

Jason Vargas was not originally scheduled to get the start on Wednesday night against the Braves at SunTrust Park. But in the finale of the four-game series, a 4-1 Mets win, Vargas recorded a start that Thor himself would have envied. Ace Noah Syndergaard was supposed to take on Julio Teheran and the Braves but was placed on the disabled... more

About two hours prior to game time on Thursday night, a line of relievers filed out of a back room in the Mets’ clubhouse, where they had conducted their routine pre-series meeting. They may as well have brought nametags with them. Four of those pitchers were not on the roster just two days earlier. Two had never before set foot... more

At this point, the Mets are fortunate that Brandon Nimmo ranks among the Majors’ top hitters in many offensive categories, considering how fully the rest of their outfield is in disarray. Yoenis Cespedes’ absence has lasted for the better part of a month. Juan Lagares is done for the season. Michael Conforto only recently began hitting with much authority, and... more

Mets ace Jacob deGrom equaled a career high with 13 strikeouts and posted his eighth straight start in which he allowed one run or fewer against the Cubs on Saturday night at Citi Field. deGrom fired seven innings of one-run ball vs. Chicago. After whiffing Kris Bryant to finish the seventh inning on his season-high 116th pitch, he was lifted... more

The Mets got an excellent pitching performance from lefty Steven Matz on Sunday, but couldn’t back it up with any semblance of offense as a pair of mental mistakes cost New York in a 2-0 loss to the Cubs at Citi Field. Two days after manager Mickey Callaway said he called a team meeting because “we’re not playing the game... more

Despite graduating a strong rookie class to the Majors that has included Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Luis Severino and Gleyber Torres in recent years, the Yankees continue to boast one of the best — and arguably the deepest — farm systems in baseball. They hope to add to that collection in the near future, with vice president of domestic amateur... more

The Mets hoped the return of Todd Frazier would help their struggling lineup, or that a visit from the last-place Orioles would help spark a turnaround Tuesday night. But they managed just three hits and lost again, 2-1, to the Orioles at Citi Field. The Mets have dropped five straight and 10 of their last 12, and have scored just... more
