Game recap September 25: That, my friends, is a blowout
Robert Gsellman impressed with his best appearance yet – eight strikeouts over seven scoreless innings. However, the more notable pitching performances came from the Phillies, whose pitchers combined to hit four batters, walk nine, and allow 14 hits.

Game recap September 18: King of the jungle
Gabriel Ynoa handled himself admirably in his first MLB start as he struck out eight Twins while allowing a single walk over 4.2 innings.

Game recap September 11: You know the name…
Seth Lugo put up seven strong innings and Yoenis Cespedes drove in five runs following an emotional pre-game ceremony in Atlanta.

Game recap April 12: Bats unable to support Syndergaard’s gem
Syndergaard blows away Marlins over seven innings Noah Syndergaard had some of his best stuff working tonight, as he struck out 12 Miami Marlins with only one walk over seven innings. He featured a fastball sitting 98-99 mph, his suddenly trademark slider comfortably sat 93 mph, and his changeup sat 88-90 mph with life. The fastball […]
Game recap April 10: Offense quieted as Mets lose series
Harvey inconsistent with command, slider: Matt Harvey didn’t have quite the outing he had probably hoped for in his 2016 Citi Field debut. He serviceably pitched six innings, but allowed three runs while striking out three. Though he wasn’t hit hard in the first few innings, a couple of singles by Phillies batters lead to […]
