Mets drop final game against Marlins

After taking games one and two on Friday and Saturday, the NY Mets ran into Jose Fernandez who matched his career high 14 strikeouts over seven innings Sunday afternoon helping the Marlins squeeze out a 1-0 win.

“I’m trying more to just worry about a pitch at a time and not think of who I’m pitching against,” Fernandez said. “Obviously, with all due respect, (Mets pitcher Matt) Harvey was throwing the ball great. It’s fun to see him out there, throwing the ball hard, making good pitches. We came out on top today, and I’m really happy about it. I’m just excited, happy that we got a win.”

Harvey pitched a great game as noted by Fernandez with Matt extending his scoreless innings streak to 12 after J.T. Realmuto blasted home the games only run in the fifth inning.

“I think it’s going to ease Matt’s mind most of all, and that’s the one that counts,” Mets manager Terry Collins said. “He felt good about what he did today, how he got through it. He kept the damage down and pitched great. It was one of those games, a great pitching matchup head-to-head. That’s exactly what you’d expect, a 1-0 game.”

The Mets continue their road swing with a three game stand against the Pirates then another against the Milwaukee Brewers.  The Mets return to the confines of Citi Field to take on the Pirates, the Braves and the Royals before heading back out on the road.  Plenty of great seats and affordable tickets are still available so be sure to get yours today and help cheer on your New York Mets when they return home!

Mets on a six game losing streak

With two games left in the current series against the Milwaukee Brewers, the New York Mets are looking to turn around a losing streak that goes back to June 17th.  The only real bright spot being an 11-game winning streak in April.  Now fans are calling for Terry Collins, who is in his last contract year, to be fired.  For his part, Terry has worked with what the franchise has given him all the way down the line.

“We’ve had everybody from Triple-A here,” Collins said. “I don’t know what you want me to tell you. We have done everything we can, we brought up all those guys that were swinging the bats good.

Last night, the Mets left fielder, Michael Cuddyer’s coughed up an unforced error giving the Brewers the go-ahead run in a 3-2 loss.

“Nothing’s going our way right now,” Cuddyer said. “You compound that with trying to do everything right and trying so hard to come through in certain situations, it’s not a good recipe. And it hasn’t been a good recipe especially on this road trip.”

The Mets face the Brewers in game there of their current series tonight at 7. Plenty of tickets are still available so be sure to get yours today!!
