MLB Scores: Mets 4, Pirates 3-Alonso sac fly walks off Pirates

2 days ago | amazinavenue.com | Chris McShane

Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images In a game that included plenty of close calls, errors, and assorted miscues, the Mets walked off the Pirates for a 4-3 win to open their series in Queens. In the end, it was Pete Alonso’s sac fly that scored Francisco Lindor to win the game in the bottom of the ninth, but here’s an attempt at describing the chaos that got the game to that point.

Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images The New York Mets (26-15) welcome the Pittsburgh Pirates (14-27) for a three-game series in Queens following series in which each time faced a division rival from the other’s division. The Pirates won their only two games in their last ten against the Atlanta Braves who, quietly, have boosted their record to being just two games under .500.
MLB Scores: Cubs 6, Mets 5-Brett Baty hits two homers, rest of offense fails in clutch

Gregory Fisher-Imagn Images Objectively, there hasn’t been that much to complain about with the Mets thus far in 2025, as the team has been in first place for the majority of the season and gotten above-average pitching and offense. But if there’s one thing we can point to as a weakness for this squad, it’s been their ability to get the clutch hit with runners in scoring position.

Mets Morning News: Four home runs power Mets to win

5 days ago | amazinavenue.com | Michael Drago

Brad Penner-Imagn Images Meet the MetsAfter a day off following a series win in Arizona, the Mets returned home to begin a three-game series against the Chicago Cubs. It was about as good an opening to a homestand as one could have hoped for, as the bats contributed four solo home runs, Clay Holmes tossed six innings of one-run ball, and the Amazins handily secured a 7-2 victory.
The Mets welcome the Cubs to Citi Field for a weekend series

Rick Scuteri-Imagn Images The New York Mets (24-14) welcome the Chicago Cubs (22-16) to Queens for a battle of two first place teams. The Mets begin a six game home stand, followed by six games in the northeast, followed up by nine more home games, so they are in a stretch where they can reasonably settle in after spending much of the last month ping ponging around the country.
Mets Morning News: Juan Soto is heating up

6 days ago | amazinavenue.com | Chris McShane

Photo by Norm Hall/Getty Images Pete Alonso is having a fantastic season, and here’s how he’s doing it. Many of the Mets’ better hitting prospects are playing for the Brooklyn Cyclones right now, and Tim Britton spent some time with and wrote about the team. Juan Soto is beginning to look like the hitter the Mets expected when they signed him, and Mike Lupica writes that everyone worrying about his slow start should relax.
Maybe Tylor Megill is for real this time

6 days ago | amazinavenue.com | Chris McShane

Photo by Elsa/Getty Images Seven starts into his 2025 season, Tylor Megill is looking better than ever before. Among starting pitchers who have thrown at least 30 innings, he ranks 20th out of 124 with a 2.50 ERA, one spot behind rotation-mate Griffin Canning and one spot ahead of former Mets ace Jacob deGrom. Early-season success is nothing new to Megill, of course.
Kodai Senga had a weird outing against the Diamondbacks

6 days ago | amazinavenue.com | Brian Salvatore

Rick Scuteri-Imagn Images It is very rare that a pitcher will struggle with control as mightily as Kodai Senga did early in yesterday’s 7-1 Mets victory over the Diamondbacks and not only win the game, but not give up an earned run in the process. In the bottom of the first, Senga walked two batters, but escaped without trouble when the first of those, Corbin Carroll, was throw out trying to steal second, and he induced a weak pop up and a ground out.
