Mets travel to Florida for matchup with first-place Rays

The New York Mets (61-76), who seemingly only play first-place clubs nowadays, continue that trend as they travel to Tampa for a three-game set with the AL East-leading Tampa Bay Rays (82-54).

On […]

Mets lose to Astros despite strong start from Lindor and Soto

There’s something else Carson Benge is really good at

Carson Benge is good at hitting? Big deal. Everyone knows that. Carson Benge is good at fielding? Duh. I know what pulchritudinous means. Carson Benge is good at running? Of course.
