Wendell Cruz-USA TODAY Sports Going into this afternoon’s game with the Blue Jays, the Mets had some reasons for optimism. Their newest player, the recently traded for Rich Hill, was starting the game for them. Hill, though not quite the pitcher he was half a decade ago, is still a very solid starter. The Mets, currently, have very few starting options, and so the prospect of having a real starting pitcher going for them puts them ahead of where they’ll be tomorrow and Tuesday. The Mets were also facing Ross Stripling, owner of an ERA near five who is averaging less than five innings and...

NEW YORK (AP) — All-Star Teoscar Hernández hit two of Toronto’s five home runs and the Blue Jays beat New York Mets 10-3 Saturday night to stop a three-game losing streak. George Springer, Marcus Semien and Bo Bichette also homered for the Blue Jays, who overtook the San Francisco Giants for the MLB lead with 149 homers. The Giants entered the day with 146. The power outburst came on a day in which Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoya tinkered with the lineup and moved Springer from the middle of the lineup to the leadoff spot and slotted All-Star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. at the second slot.

Going deep into games, in today's version of Major League Baseball, I would guess would be a pitcher getting into the 6th inning. At one time, if starting pitcher didn't complete 6 innings, it wasn't considered a "quality start." Today, New York Mets starting pitcher Marcus Stroman went "old school." Stroman plunked the first batter of the game and then basically shut the Cincinnati Reds down for 8 innings. The right-hander gave up a leadoff hit in the third and a walk in the 7th, other than that, nothing. Marcus Stroman was exactly what the Mets bullpen doctor ordered, rest! The Mets ba...

Final score: Mets 7, Pirates 6—How Conforto got his groove back Share this story Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports The first inning was the story of today’s game, as all of the Pirates offense came in that bottom half of the first. Taijuan Walker, fresh off his All-Star game appearance, didn’t have it today, only able to get one out in the top of the first before being pulled after six runs crossed the plate. Walker wasn’t helped by an absolutely bizarre play where, with the bases loaded, a ball in foul ground was called fair after it just barely touched the foul line, and the call wa...
