Mets try to save season (again) as they travel to Colorado
Jake Roth-USA TODAY Sports The Mets need to pretty much be perfect from here on out. The New York Mets (77-72) embark on their final road trip of 2019 as they try to keep their fading playoff hopes alive against the Colorado Rockies (65-85). Earlier this year, the Mets took two out of three from the Rockies at Citi Field. The Mets went toe-to-toe with the National League’s best team over the weekend and ended up dropping two of three to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Things got off to a positive start on Friday night as J.D. Davis hit a home run in the bottom of the first against Clayton...

Mets lose heartbreaker late, and that might be all
Wendell Cruz-USA TODAY Sports The Mets’ bullpen failed once again, blowing a critical game against the Dodgers. Zack Wheeler started last night’s game strong, retiring the first six men to face him and nine of the first ten. That opened up the door for the Mets’ offense, who struck first in the second. A one-out walk by Robinson Cano followed by a single from J.D. Davis put two men on base for Brandon Nimmo, who ripped a ball that stayed just fair down the right field line for a two-run triple. The Mets had an early lead. For the most part, Wheeler made that lead stand up. The...

Final Score: Mets 9, Diamondbacks 0—Ray of Light
Adam Hunger-USA TODAY Sports Mets score five in first inning to knock out Robbie Ray, cruise to third straight victory over Arizona. The Mets jumped all over Diamondbacks starter Robbie Ray in the bottom of the first inning. Amed Rosario got the inning started with a double, and with one out, Jeff McNeil got hit by a pitch. The two then pulled a double steal, which allowed Rosario to score on Wilson Ramos’s ground out to second. J.D. Davis then lined a ball to left—it looked as if Tim Locastro had a play on it, but he pulled up at the last second, allowing the second run to score,...
