The Mets drew first blood in round-two of the 2015 subway series, muscling through Masahiro Tanaka and the Yankees with three home runs in a 5-1 decision at Citi Field on Friday night. The outcome pushed the Mets a step closer to a division title and Yankees one further.

The Yankees grabbed the rubber-match of the Subway Series Part 2 this weekend, and took the overall season series 4-2 with a decisive 11-2 drubbing of the slumping Mets on Sunday night.

Carlos Beltran cracked a first inning, three-run blast and Brian McCann added a two-run shot in the sixth as the Yankees shut out the Mets 5-0 in second game of their subway series.

It's been more than four months since David Wright pulled a hamstring and headed to the disabled list, leaving the Mets without their biggest offensive force, presumably, for 4-6 weeks. Roughly three months ago, Wright learned of his spinal stenosis condition and doubt arose about whether he'd ever be able to return to baseball.

The Mets' Kelly Johnson had three extra base hits and three RBI's, Curtis Granderson had a homer and drove in three and Juan Lagares added a pinch-hit, three-run blast in the eighth to cap a four-game sweep of the Rockies, 12-3 at Citi Field Thursday afternoon.

Jacob deGrom (11-6) struck out ten Rockies and allowed just two hits and four walks over seven-shutout innings to earn his eleventh win as the Mets beat Colorado 3-0 Wednesday night at Citi Field.

The New York Mets made a deal to acquire some much need hitting this weekend, but is it enough to make them a contender?

It may not have been the blockbuster deal Mets fans were hoping for but the acquisition of Kelly Johnson and Juan Uribe is paying dividends.

Michael Taylor's two-run, two-out single in the bottom of the eighth inning tied the game before the young center fielder stole second and scored the winning run as the Nationals rallied for a 4-3 win over the second-place Mets in a Wednesday afternoon rubber match in Washington.

The New York Mets' Franchise Four was announced during Tuesday's MLB All-Star Game festivities.

Reigning National League Rookie of the Year Jacob deGrom was named to his first All-Star game on Monday.

Many in Major League Baseball were hit with shocking and sad news this week as it's been reported that former outfielder Darryl Hamilton was shot to death by his girlfriend in an apparent murder-suicide.
