Series Breakdown/Highlights

Mariners Series: The Mets headed out to Seattle to kick off their final west coast trip of the season.

Game one saw Sean Manaea dominate the Mariners lineup, only giving up one hit on a solo home run. Brooks Rally gave up a game-tying solo home run to Josh Naylor in the bottom of the seventh inning. The game went to extras, and with the Mets failing to score the ghost runner at second base in the top of the 10th, it took a stolen base and a Cole Young soft RBI single to walk it off.

Game two was almost all Mariners. Huascar Brazoban was opening for the Mets and gave up a two-run homer in the bottom of the second inning, but the Mets would get the two runs back on a Carson Benge homer. An error on the pitcher in the bottom of the third would give the Mariners a lead they would not relinquish, going on to score five more runs, including a backbreaking two-out, three-run home run off the bat of Jhonny Pereda off Jonah Tong, who lost the strike zone as the outing progressed.

The Mets bounced back in game three of the series, scoring seven runs after a big four-run fourth inning against George Kirby and the Mariners. Bo Bichette was 4-for-4 in the game, his first four-hit game as a Met. Freddy Peralta had one of his best outings on the mound this season, giving the Mets six innings and giving up only one run.

Padres Series: The Mets wrapped up their west coast schedule in San Diego, taking on a Padres team not known for their hitting this season.

Game one was probably the most complete win for the Mets this season. Christian Scott earned his second win of the season, going 5.2 innings without allowing a run, and his offense picked him up. Dispute 0-for-4 efforts from Benge, Soto, and Semien, the Mets offense was able to score five runs off Michael King and the Padres bullpen, including two extra-base hits, one of which was a home run off the bat of Jared Young.

Game two saw the Mets take a 2-1 lead off old friend Griffin Canning and the Padres bullpen into the eighth inning. Nolan McLean has looked more like himself in his last two outings, and it showed as he spun six innings, giving up one run. Austin Warren was close to getting the Mets to the ninth inning with a lead before Freddy Fermin, who had not hit a home run all year and was 0 for his last 30, hit a two-out, two-run home run to give the Padres a lead. Mason Miller came in and shut the door on the Mets to even the series.

Game three saw the Mets dominate the whole time out. Sean Manaea earned his first win of 2026, only giving up two runs in four innings of work (another home run by Fermin). Carson Benge was 5-for-5 for the first time in his young career, driving in two runs. Marcus Semien was also productive, recording two hits, including another home run. Devin Williams did give up a run in the ninth inning, but the rest of the Mets bullpen also dominated and looks like one of the biggest strengths of the roster heading into the middle of June.
