Hat tip to Clay Holmes for a hell of a first season as a starter. He was gassed for sure in the second half, but all in all, 11-8, 3.66 ERA, 159.2 IP. There's work to do - he's a pitch-to-contact pitcher as a starter, so he needs to cut the walks down. But well done! 👏 #Mets

Massive game for the #Mets here today. Need to win to control the tiebreaker vs Cincinnati. They'd be 3-3 vs CIN, but NY is 23-19 vs the NL East, CIN is 17-22 vs the NL Central. That's the next tiebreaker, their own division record.

Guess who is starting to carry the #Mets? The guy having a “down year” who is about to be 30/30. I talk about that guy and what is arguably becoming an MVP-type season for him… www.justmets.net/p/juan-soto-...

The #Mets are calling up Jonah Tong. He will start on Friday against the Marlins. He has arguably been the most dominant pitcher in the minors this year. He just got to Triple-A and has already dominated.
The #Mets offense has been crushing it lately. There's a notable difference which helps explain it. That plus thoughts on this race they're trying to get into, the pitching, some cool stats from last night too... www.justmets.net/p/so-why-is-...

As Francisco Lindor goes, so does the Mets offense...
The Mets got another big night from Francisco Lindor's white hot bat. They also got a big bop from Mark Vientos. But they have a new injury concern with their catcher.

Juan Soto drew three walks and stole a base on Sunday - he reached the 20 home run/20 stolen base (20/20) plateau for the first time in his career. If he hurries, he can get to 30/30. #Mets
