Mike Puma NY Post: Mets drop series to Astros as bats — besides Juan Soto — go silent again in loss. "A lineup built to torment opponents isn’t there yet...On Saturday they managed only one hit in a 2-1 loss to the Astros at Daikin Park in the series rubber game...Lindor, who finished 0-for-11 in the series, left the tying run stranded at second base in the eighth inning as part of a frustrating performance for the Mets, who finished 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position."


Brian Joura Mets360: "With the tying run on second base in the ninth inning, Mark Vientos hit a ball with a 107.8 exit velocity and a .750 xBA. It should have been a tie game but instead was the final out in a 2-1 Mets loss Saturday night in Houston. Mets pitchers allowed just six runs in three games yet finish their first series at 1-2."


Anthony DiComo Mets.com: Taking stock of Mets' opening series: Lindor, Siri, Soto. "New York’s lone offensive highlight in Saturday’s finale came courtesy of Siri...drew a leadoff walk, stole second, moved to third on a Lindor fly ball and then dashed home on a groundout. But it was how he dashed home...When Juan Soto hit a tapper back to pitcher Spencer Arrighetti...Arrighetti took a long look at Siri before turning and...throwing to first. The moment Arrighetti broke eye contact, Siri took off, sliding home just ahead of first baseman Christian Walker’s throw."


Tim Healey Newsday: Mets held to one hit in loss to Astros, but newbie Griffin Canning impresses. "Canning’s final line was solid if not spectacular — 5 2⁄3 innings, two runs, four hits — but enabled by team decision-makers, he embraced a simple-sounding philosophy that nonetheless is new to him. He threw his best pitch the most often, and he found success by doing so. Leaning heavily on his slider, Canning held Houston scoreless into the fifth inning."


Abbey Mastracco NY Daily News: Mets record just one hit, drop rubber game to lose first series against Houston Astros. "Max Kranick made his long-awaited return to the big leagues, coming into the eighth inning with the bases loaded and one out. It wasn’t the “soft” spot Mendoza wanted to get Kranick into after three years away from the Major Leagues, but lifelong Mets fan from the Scranton area deftly worked out of the jam."

3/29/25 Mets Roster Moves - Yovanny Rodriguez to IL

Bill Madden NY Daily News: Opening Day helped answer a couple key questions for Yankees and Mets. "As for David Stearns’ belief that Holmes can make a successful transition from closer to a starting pitcher, well, initial results — 4 2/3 innings, five hits, two earned runs, four walks, four strikeouts — were not particularly encouraging. Again, it’s only one start, but it does say something about the Mets’ rotation — granted the injury to Sean Manaea was a primary factor — that Holmes got the Opening Day call."

Mets have a rare Sunday Off Day today.  They Travel to Miami to face the Marlins on Monday at 6:40PM.  David Peterson the scheduled starter.
