Mets News

Robert Stock delivered the best start of his career, propelling the Mets to a hard-fought 3-2 victory over the Rays, marking their second straight win as they cling to playoff hope with a 62-76 record. Stock’s performance is a welcome surprise for a pitching staff that has struggled, evidenced by his previous 7.40 ERA. Meanwhile, Mark Vientos made an immediate impact upon his return from the injured list with a crucial solo homer, proving he can still be a valuable asset in the lineup. With September call-ups Justin Hagenman and Nick Morabito set to join the squad, the Mets are actively reshaping their roster as they navigate the final month of the season. However, the loss of Luis Robert Jr. to the Orioles after just five months might sting, leaving fans to wonder what could have been.
