last night's win

Some of this, some of that. Took last night by 2. That matters. The catch: 12 players on the IL. The depth is getting tested.

Mets News

The New York Mets snagged a much-needed 4-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies, showcasing their potential after a rocky start to the season. Scoring all four runs in the sixth inning, the Mets demonstrated offensive resilience, and their pitching staff, led by Huascar Brazobán, continued to impress, maintaining a stellar 1.15 ERA this season. While the bullpen held strong, the real standout might be Carson Benge, whose breakout performances are igniting hope among fans. However, the recent departure of Carl Edwards Jr. to free agency raises concerns about depth as the Mets continue to navigate a challenging season with a 13-22 record. With momentum slowly building, the Mets must capitalize on this win and push for a series sweep.
