Johan Santana's next minor league rehab start is likely to be pushed back a day because the New York Mets ace didn't feel as strong as he would like during his latest side session.
Mike Stanton hit a grand slam in the 10th inning and the Florida Marlins quickly recovered from Lucas Duda's tying homer with two outs in the ninth to beat the New York Mets 7-3 on Monday night.
Dillon Gee picked up his 10th victory of 2011 Friday night against the Washington Nationals, becoming the 10th rookie in Mets history to reach double-digit wins in a season.
Rick Ankiel scored on Ian Desmond's chopper up the middle in the bottom of the ninth inning Sunday, giving the Washington Nationals a 3-2 win over the New York Mets on a scorcher of a summer afternoon.
Jayson Werth hit a three-run home run, and Yunesky Maya, filling in for traded starter Jason Marquis, earned his first career win for the Washington Nationals in a 3-0 victory over the New York Mets on Saturday night.
Manufactured or real sizzle? You decide. General Managers have caught on to this and now make moves well before the deadline (see Beltran to Giants). Drama may happen and a nation may be inspired by the underdog once more. David clubbed Goliath, nice stone toss dude, and can you pitch too?
Jose Reyes drove in two runs, and the New York Mets made Chien-Ming Wang's return to the big leagues a short one with a 8-5 win over the Washington Nationals on Friday night.
The Mets sit six games back of the wild card-leading Braves and most people simply think it is too tall an order for the Mets. But this is a group of athletes that have overachieved all year.
Johan Santana didn't take very long to get used to the mound again. The on-the-mend left-hander made his first start for the Mets in almost 11 months, throwing three scoreless innings for Class-A St. Lucie on Thursday night.
Lucas Duda and Jason Bay each drove in three runs with bases-loaded doubles and the Mets held off the reeling Reds for a 10-9 victory Thursday that gave New York its first ever four-game sweep in Cincinnati.
The New York Mets recalled catcher Mike Nickeas from Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday to fill the roster spot opened up by Carlos Beltran's trade to San Francisco.
The Carlos Beltran era in Flushing is officially over. The Mets announced on Thursday that they have acquired right-handed pitching prospect Zack Wheeler from the San Francisco Giants for Beltran.
The long anticipated Carlos Beltran trade has been executed and most Met fans think it will mean that the next two months will be painful to watch. I say not so fast.
The clock will begin ticking for Johan Santana on Thursday night. The Mets' ace left-hander will begin a rehab assignment by throwing 45 pitches for the Single-A St. Lucie Mets when they take on the Daytona Cubs in Florida.
Carlos Beltran is gone. Well, not officially. That will happen sometime Thursday, and when he dons a San Francisco Giants uniform at Citizens Bank Park on Thursday night, the book on Beltran's Mets era will definitively close.
