# New York Mets July 2026 performance & trade moves > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/new-york-mets-july-2026-victories > Updated: 2026-07-30T21:48:28.000Z. Sources: 31. Developments: 4. In the final week of July, the Mets rode a surge of offense, highlighted by back‑to‑back 14‑3 victories over Atlanta and a doubleheader win at Citi Field that kept Tyrone Taylor’s average near .410. The streak ended on July 31 when Miami snapped a 5‑2 win, pulling within 2½ games of the wild‑card spots. Jakob Marsee’s two‑run double and Kyle Stowers’ consecutive homers powered the Marlins, while Mets starter Kodai Senga, filling in for the scratched Freddy Peralta, surrendered three runs over four innings. The loss left New York at 47‑63, still in wild‑card contention. The game also accelerated trade‑deadline activity: the Mets dealt reliever A.J. Minter to Minnesota and were linked to further pitcher moves. A rain delay had postponed the series opener earlier in the week, but the four‑game set concluded without further interruptions. New York’s next start will be rookie left‑hander Zac Thornton against Marlins right‑hander Tyler Phillips. ## Claims - The Miami Marlins defeated the New York Mets 5-2 at Citi Field on July 31, 2026.
