New York Mets 2026 season performance

Overview

The New York Mets’ momentum from mid-August has fluctuated as they face mixed results. Following a period of success that included a series sweep of the Washington Nationals and a victory over the San Diego Padres, the team suffered a setback on August 27 when the Milwaukee Brewers defeated them 8-2.

On August 30, the Mets secured a 3-2 victory against the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field to open a new series. The win was driven by a career-best performance from Robert Stock, who threw 5.1 scoreless innings to earn his first Major League win as a starter since 2019. Mark Vientos contributed a solo home run, his 12th of the season, while Kodai Senga secured the save.

However, the Mets faced a loss in their series finale against the Houston Astros at Citi Field, falling 6-3. Despite an early lead fueled by home runs from Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto, and a solid start from rookie Zac Thornton, the Mets could not overcome a sixth-inning two-run home run by LaMonte Wade Jr. and a seventh-inning throwing error by Jared Young. This loss marked the Mets’ third consecutive series defeat, leaving their season record at 61-76 and 15 games under .500.

By early September, the team regained momentum, securing their fourth consecutive win with a 15-14 victory over the Miami Marlins on September 9. After squandering an eight-run lead, the Mets rallied with six runs in the seventh inning, highlighted by a decisive three-run home run from Francisco Lindor. This victory completed a three-game sweep of the Marlins and marked the Mets’ third straight series win, with the team winning six of their last seven games heading into the Subway Series against the Yankees.
