Photo by Adam Hunger/Getty Images Can the mojo continue against the Dodgers? The Mets are rolling along right now. The winner of four straight series, the Mets haven’t lost two in a row since they won their first game of the season. The bullpen has looked fantastic, the starters have (for the most part) avoided meltdown games, and the team, up and down the lineup, is starting to hit. The three-game sweep against the Pirates showed a couple of really promising signs for the club. In all three games, the Mets were either trailing or didn’t get off to a strong offensive start before scoring runs ..read more

Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (9-8) CHARLOTTE 5, SYRACUSE 4 (BOX) Joey Lucchesi was solid to start, throwing six innings and allowing two earned runs (three total), though he did have his warts on the evening. He did not miss a ton of bats, only striking out four. He walked three and allowed four hits — it was not the most impressive quality start you’ll see, but it was a solid effort. The Syracuse bullpen, however, could not hold the slim 4-3 lead they were given, however. An ..read more

Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports After a dreadful start to the season, the Mets and their offense have come alive. On a cloudy spring day at Citi Field, the Mets defeated the Pirates for their first sweep of the season. Luis Severino was on the mound and continued his strong start to the season, having his best performance yet as a Met. Going six innings for the first time in his short Mets’ career, Severino allowed just one unearned run, while striking out four batters. The one run Severino surrendered came in the third inning, where Henry Davis reached base on catchers interference. After allowi ..read more

Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images The Mets balk-ed at the thought of not winning another series. Coming into tonight’s game, the Mets were on a hot streak. They’d won back-to-back games, three straight series, and had been 8-3 since their disastrous five game losing streak to start the season. They could clinch a series win with this game, but their hopes rode on the back of José Quintana, who has looked somewhat shaky to start the year. They were also facing a good young pitcher in Jared Jones. Still, they showed an ability to fight to the last out this season, and the offense has shown some ..read more
