Mets finally squeeze one out against Rockies

Flushing, NY 11368

The weekend did not go as expected for the New York Mets as they battled the Colorado Rockies in a four game home series, that is, until last night when they finally got over the hump and defeated the Rockies 6-4.

“You never like to be staring at the barrel of a possible four-game sweep at home, under any circumstances,” Neil Walker said. “Our pitchers have been throwing the ball pretty well, and obviously we haven’t been great in certain situations offensively. We know that if we keep giving ourselves opportunities, we’re going to come through.”

The Mets will begin a series tonight at 6:10 against their in-state rival New York Yankees. Two games will be played here then the next two at Yankee Stadium. Tickets are still available so be sure to grab yours and get out and cheer on your New York Mets!

Mets take game one against Cubs

NLCS Rematch heating up

The Chicago Cubs (51-27, 1st NL Central) came into Flushing riding a two game streak but came up against a New York Mets(41-37, 2nd NL East) squad looking to take things to the next level. After four straight losses to the Nationals the 4-3 win against the division leading Cubs was a welcome site.

“It sure came at the right time,” Mets manager Terry Collins said. “To come back against that team, first game of this 11-game homestand, I think it’s huge for us. It lifted the spirits of every guy in there.”

Game two tonight will feature Jacob deGrom (3-4, 2.67 ERA) going up against Jason Hammel (7-4, 2.58 ERA). Hammel is 0-3 with a 4.91 ERA in five career starts against the Mets.

Mets sneak by Royals

Bortolo Colon took the mound to kick off the first game of a two game series against the Kansas City Royals and just four pitches in to Whit Merrifield, he was forced to leave after trying to catch Merrifield’s hit off his 97 MPH fastball. It ended up bouncing off his glove and ricocheting off his throwing (right) hand. Enter reliever Hansel Robles.

“The first thought that popped into my head was, ‘God, please don’t let this be a broken thumb,'” Colon said. “I had never been hit there before.”

X-rays proved negative and Robles stood tall for three and one half innings, giving up only one run. He would give way to four other relievers in the 2-1 victory.

The Mets and Royals meet in the rubber game today at noon. Noah Snydergaard get the start for the Mets going up against the Royal’s Danny Duffy. Tickets are still available so be sure to get out and support your New York Mets today!!
