Thor keys offense as Mets break out vs. Jays

Published: 05/16/2018 @ 08:00 am

When their bus pulled back into Citi Field late Sunday following a road trip starved for offense, the Mets ranked dead last in baseball in runs over the past calendar month, and bottom five in batting average, on-base percentage and slugging. So desperate were the Mets for offense that they were willing to gamble with their most expensive player’s health,... more

deGrom ties career high with 13 K’s in Mets win

Published: 05/19/2018 @ 08:00 am

In a sense, Jacob deGrom said recently, the most frustrating part of May was that he had pitched so well. Before the Mets removed deGrom from a May 2 start due to a hyperextended right elbow, he felt untouchable. When they skipped deGrom’s next start out of caution, he believed he was healthy enough to pitch. When the Mets again... more

The Royals struck early against Yankees starter CC Sabathia, thanks largely to the hitting and baserunning exploits of Whit Merrifield. The second baseman, who had three hits and three... more

Bautista run all Mets manage behind Wheeler

Published: 05/23/2018 @ 08:00 am

The Mets’ acquisition of Jose Bautista on Tuesday, and their promise of playing time to him, was an open acknowledgement of a withering lineup. Since the start of May, only one big league club has scored fewer runs per game than the Mets. Since Opening Day, no team has posted a lower OPS against left-handed pitching.
