Luis Severino pitches complete-game shutout to lead Mets past Marlins
It’s been a year of reflection for Luis Severino, but the right-hander had his best performance of the season on Saturday, pitching his first shutout win since 2018 against the Marlins at Citi Field.

Mets swept by Mariners as Luis Severino struggles in lopsided loss
SEATTLE — T-Mobile Park teed off at Mets Park, with the visiting team going home with a crushing defeat on Sunday. Sure, the Mets avoided a shutout for the first time in three games, but it was a narrow victory. Their first trip to the Pacific Northwest in seven years ended with a 12-1 loss […]
Luis Severino roughed up by Twins as Mets fail to finish sweep
Without their acquired ace and with Kodai Senga injured, the most obvious path for the Mets to force a stoppage would be to transform their Game 1 postseason starter from 2024 Luis Severino to 2018 Luis Severino.

Ron Darling rips Luis Severino for ‘inexcusable mistake’ by Mets
On Wednesday night, the Mets made the bad moments even worse.

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 […]
Mets’ Luis Severino tosses gem after rotation shuffle
CHICAGO — Luis Severino may have been disappointed to be removed from the starting lineup for the Subway Series, but it didn’t affect his performance Sunday night.
