Mets’ late rally all for naught as they fall in 10 innings to Twins
MINNEAPOLIS — The Mets gathered late Wednesday, but the hits needed to celebrate their comeback victory never came. The twins got what they needed for ten times. Reed Garrett surrendered a leadoff single to Thailand France in the frame and sent autorunner Byron Buxton home with a 4-3 loss for the Mets in the target […]
Clay Holmes pitches three perfect innings in Mets’ debut as starter
Port St. Lucy – The newness in the Clay Holmes situation was spreading beyond the Mets' pitching on Saturday. For the first time with the Pirates since 2019, he was a starting pitcher. Holmes' Mets debut was successful on all counts, starting with the fact that the Astros didn't touch him in three innings. With […]
Sean Manaea’s seven brilliant innings propel Mets to shutout win over Twins
The Mets’ moves at the trade deadline were largely unremarkable, and were largely similar to the approach the front office took when putting together their team last winter. Perhaps Exhibit A is Sean Manaea, the only free agent the club signed to a multiyear contract (two years, $28 million). Manaea has been practicing well and […]
Sean Manaea fails to last five innings in Mets’ blowout win
Sean Manaea’s inconsistent first season with the Mets continued on Wednesday as the left-hander allowed just two runs but couldn’t complete five innings in a 12-3 win over the Yankees in the Bronx. The left-hander walked four batters in just 4 2/3 innings, forcing his already overworked relief pitchers to pitch four more innings. “The […]
Braves prospect has whopping 35 wild pitches in three career innings
They say a first impression is a lasting impression, but Atlanta Braves prospect Francisco Vicioso took it to a new level with his terrible performance. Vicioso has allowed 20 earned runs and 35 wild pitches in three professional innings. The Braves have a pitcher named Francisco Vicioso who has pitched three innings in professional baseball. […]
Luis Severino continues to roll for Mets even as innings mount
The last time Luis Severino pitched that many innings in the majors was in 2018, during his second All-Star season with the Yankees. And after allowing eight or more hits in three of his past four games, it’s fair to wonder if the strain is on Severino, who is in the midst of a resurgent […]
Adrian Houser gives Mets a shot with four innings of sharp relief
Adrian Hauser may have saved the career of a Mets player who was on the brink of being fired. The right-hander’s presence was a big factor in the Mets’ come-from-behind victory Sunday, a day after the embattled pitcher was informed he would be returning to the bullpen to make room in the rotation for David […]
Orioles’ Kyle Bradish removed after seven no-hit innings in win
CHICAGO — Baltimore right-hander Kyle Bradish pitched seven no-hitter innings Sunday before Danny Mendick gave the Chicago White Sox their first hit of the night with a home run off Danny Coulombe in the eighth. Bradish struck out 11 and walked four in his fifth start of the season. He threw 103 pitches, 63 of […]
Pirates’ Paul Skenes tosses six no-hit innings in second MLB start
The Cubs were no match for Paul Skeens the second time around. They could barely touch the Pirates’ genius fireballer. Skeens, MLB’s top-ranked pitching prospect and the No. 1 pick in the 2023 MLB Draft, nearly pitched in his team’s 9-3 win over the Cubs on Friday afternoon at Wrigley Field in Chicago. He pitched […]
Yankees lose to Brewers in extra innings after bats come alive
MILWAUKEE — The Yankees claimed Michael Tonkin off waivers on Thursday and threw him straight into the fire on Friday. Both suffered burns. After the Yankees took a one-run lead in the top of the 10th inning, Tonkin allowed a tying run in the bottom of the inning, and the Brewers drew a walk in […]
