The Mets (28-16) will play the New York Yankees, who had Clay Holmes and Juan Soto last season, on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The two teams met in spring training, but these will be their first competitive games of the year.

Juan Soto is set to make his return to Yankee Stadium and play in his first Subway Series with the Mets and says he's looking forward to the crowd in The Bronx.

Matt Gorski and Jared Triolo each connected for a two-run homer off New York Mets starter Clay Holmes and the Pittsburgh Pirates finally mustered some offense in a 4-0 victory at rainy Citi Field.

In his sole season with the Yankees — Soto was the centerpiece of a blockbuster with the San Diego Padres, who got Jhony Brito, Kyle Higashioka, Michael King, Drew Thorpe and Randy Vásquez in return — Soto had the best season of his career. In 157 games, he batted .288 and posted career-highs in slugging (.569), OPS+ (179), and home runs (41)

The New York Mets control first place of the NL East and are tied for the best record in baseball largely because of their stellar, overachieving starting rotat

Before Wednesday’s action, the Pirates’ offense was anemic. In fact, Pittsburgh averaged 2.32 runs per game in 19 contests dating back to April 23 -- by far the worst offense in the Majors during that span.

Juan Soto will represent the Dominican Republic in the 2026 World Baseball Classic (h/t Warstic's Shawn Spradling ). The New York Mets star confirmed he will participate in the event as long as he is healthy on Wednesday in a Spanish language press conference.

The Pittsburgh Pirates and New York Mets won't begin their series finale on time at Citi Field. The Mets announced that the game will start in a rain delay, pushing the game back 15 minutes further, from 7:10 p.

The Mets have improved their caught stealing percentage from 20% last season, 20th of 30 teams, to 42.4% this year, the best in MLB. They’ve also gone from allowing the fifth-most stolen bases in the game last year to allowing the second-fewest.
