The Mets managed to blast three home runs in their 11-6 loss Athletics, but they couldn’t overcome an early deficit and their recent skid is now up to four games. Kodai Senga got the start and had the worst start of his young season so far. After the Mets had jumped out to an early […]

Suddenly, the Yankees have dropped three-straight contests after losing two games at home against the Athletics then going down to defeat last night in St. Pete for the series opener.

Not just that they started out 3-7, but the way they did it, made it seem like .500 was at the top of the Eiffel Tower while the elevator was being renovated. 3 days later here are the A’s at 6-7 with their pitchers riding a remarkable 26 inning scoreless streak ready to take a […]
Jesús Luzardo dazzled in the second game of the road trip against the Colorado Rockies, striking out 11 in 6.2 innings of one-run ball. It was a strong bounce back start after struggling against Texas to begin the year. There is one three-pitch sequence that can tell anyone how dialed in he was in Coors. […]
According to Jon Heyman, the Mets will call up Craig Kimbrel before today’s game against the Athletics. Kimbrel, a 16-year veteran who was an All-Star with the Braves, Phillies, Cubs, and Red Sox, signed a minor league deal with the Mets in January. Kimbrel is currently fifth all time with 440 career saves, just ahead […]
En route to a 4-0 loss to the City-less Athletics, Mets’ starter Clay Holmes left the game in the sixth inning with ‘left hamstring tightness.’ Holmes expressed optimism after the game that he could make his next scheduled start, calling the injury “nothing major.” Manager Carlos Mendoza said that how Holmes feels today will determine […]
The A’s just keep winning! In New York for their fourth straight game the A’s took the first game of the weekend series against the Mets, winning 4-0 thanks to some late-game insurance that they ended up not really needing. Still love the foot on the gas pedal late though! Ginn dominates in first start […]
A week in New York? Not bad a deal for the green and the gold. After kicking it around The Bronx for three games, a quick trip on the Metro brings them to Citi Field for another trio. This time against the Metropolitans who enter the series at 7-6. Clay Holmes is the starting foe […]

The A’s announced on Friday afternoon the placement of Designated Hitter Brent Rooker on the 10-day IL with what the team is calling an oblique strain: It’s a tough blow for the Athletics’ offense. Though he’s scuffled in the early going it seemed that Rook was starting to get his bat on track in recent […]
After a couple of so-so starts to open his New York Yankees’ career, left-hander Ryan Weathers had his best outing of the young season on Thursday against the Athletics. He completed eight innings, surrendering a single run on seven hits and punching out seven. He didn’t walk anyone, which is particularly encouraging since he entered […]
It was a quiet day around baseball and particularly in the Yankees’ dugout, the Bombers getting one-hit to lose the rubber match against the Athletics, 1-0, with hardly a whimper of protest. There were only five other games around the league on this sleepy Thursday, and only one we’ll cover today for Rivalry Roundup, the […]
Morning A’s fans and welcome to another Friday! The club has wrapped up the first New York series this week with a series win over the Yankees. The last couple of games were especially close but they managed to pull through and get their record to 5-7. Now they depart from the Bronx to head […]
After a less-than-encouraging series to start the homestand, the Mets (7-6) will try to conclude on a higher note as they welcome the Oakland Sacramento Athletics (5-7) to Citi Field. The two teams squared off in California last April, with New York besting the A’s in two out of the three games. The weather was […]
After a high-quality win opened their most recent series with the Athletics, the Yankees finished it off with tough back-to-back losses. In those two ballgames, the “Bombers” mustered just five combined hits and two runs, which included a one-hit shutout in the latter. With some of their better arms slated to start in their upcoming […]
We’re months away from when the Yankees usually have their midseason malaise, but if they have one this year, then we got a little preview this week. They had every chance to win their fourth-straight series to open the year, but dropped the last two against the A’s at home, both contests decided by one […]
The Yankees have generally gotten off to a winning start this season, with only a few things here and there going wrong. One thing that has definitely gone wrong for them has been the fact that they’ve gotten hardly any production out of the lower order of the lineup. As it turns out, that’s a […]
Fresh off a come from behind, ninth inning victory over the New York Yankees last night, the two teams were back at it this morning for the rubber match of the 3-game series at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. Jeffrey Springs got the start for the Athletics today against Ryan Weathers for the Yankees. Both […]
The Yankees haven’t had many losses on the young season, but you could argue that Wednesday’s was the most frustrating so far. After starting the game with a couple hits and a couple runs in the first innings, they proceeded to not do much for the rest of the game. That allowed the Athletics to […]
Fresh off a come from behind, ninth inning victory over the New York Yankees last night, the two teams are back at it this morning in the Bronx.
