Mets Morning News for May 4, 2024

Meet the Mets

After a thrilling walk-off win to close out the series against the Cubs, the Mets traveled down to Florida to open up a three game series against the Tampa Bay Rays. The team’s offense has struggled mightily in recent times, but they broke out for eight runs last night—including, most notably, two home runs off the bat of Brett Baty. Unfortunately, the pitching failed the Mets this time around, as José Quintana—coming off his best start of the season—lasted just 2.2 innings and gave up a whopping eight runs. The bullpen, tasked with pitching a majority of this game, gave up two runs of their own, and the Amazins fell to the Rays 10-8.

Top pitching prospect Christian Scott makes his debut tonight. What should the Mets and their fans expect to see?

Scott’s debut is an important milestone in the Mets’ lengthy quest to improve their process for drafting and developing pitching.

Carlos Mendoza announced that the struggling Adrian Houser will be moving to the bullpen for the time being.

While there was some concern that Brooks Raley’s elbow injury might be season-ending, the veteran lefty will continue throwing for now after seeing some improvement.

Brandon Nimmo has faced some tough luck at the plate despite some very positive underlying numbers.

The Florida Complex Mets revealed their full roster as their season gets underway today.

Outfield prospect Nick Morabito was named the Florida State League player of the month for April after OPSing 1.047 for the St. Lucie Mets.

Around the National League East

The Braves went to extra innings against the Dodgers in Los Angeles. After both teams scored one run in the tenth inning, Atlanta failed to get a run home in the top of the eleventh, and the Dodgers subsequently got a walk-off hit from rookie Andy Pages to deliver a 4-3 loss to the Braves.

Sean Murphy swung off a tee yesterday as the Braves catcher continues to work his way back from injury.

Trea Turner scored what proved to be the winning run in a 4-3 win over the Giants on a daring baserunning play. Unfortunately for the Phillies, he also injured his hamstring in the process.

The Nationals entered the seventh inning down by two runs against the Blue Jays, but consecutive four-run innings propelled them to a 9-3 victory.

The trade deadline isn’t for several months, but nobody tell the Marlins that, as they’ve traded reigning batting champion Luis Arráez to the Padres.

Reeling from the news that they were losing one of their best players, Miami failed to muster much offense and lost to the Athletics 3-1.
