The numbers are pulling in both directions. Coming off a win by 4. That energy is baked into the score. Pulling the other way, scoring just 2.9 per game. The lineup has gone quiet.

Mets News

Zac Thornton shined in his quest for respect, tossing a gem that earned him his first career win with a 4-0 shutout over the Brewers, extending his scoreless streak to 18 innings. In stark contrast to the Mets’ recent struggles, which have seen them limping through a disappointing season with a lackluster 42-59 record, Thornton’s performance is a glimmer of hope in an otherwise bleak landscape. While the team weighs its options as clear sellers at the trade deadline, holding onto prized players like Juan Soto, they should take a page from Thornton's book,pitch with purpose and conviction. After losing the first game of the series, this victory proves there’s still fight left in the Mets, even if they are buried under a cold 2-5 week. Can they build on this momentum against a tough Brewers team?

Report: Mets Not Planning To Pay Down Salary In Trades
The Mets, in the midst of perhaps the most disappointing season of any club in baseball, head into the trade deadline as clear sellers. They’re not going to trade Juan Soto or promising young talents like Nolan McLean, Carson Benge, A.J. Ewing and Christian Scott. It’s unlikely that they’d be able to find a way […]

Thornton earns 1st MLB win, stretches scoreless streak to 18 frames
MILWAUKEE -- Zac Thornton doesn't pitch like someone making his fourth Major League start. He pitches like someone who's convinced he belongs. Every fastball has conviction. Every pitch comes with intent. And when trouble finally arrived Tuesday night, the 24-year-old rookie never blinked.
