The bullpen, featuring Huascar Brazobán and Edwin Díaz, secured the win, with Díaz recording his 12th save of the season. Juan Soto, who had been in a slump, broke out with a 2-for-4 performance, including an RBI double in the third inning that extended the Mets' lead.

After the game, Soto addressed his struggles since his blockbuster move to the Mets. He particularly emphasized he has not been coming through for his teammates, but said it is only of matter of time until he starts producing for them. Advertisement "I know I've been struggling, and I haven't been there for them, but I will be... It's a matter of time, we don't know when it's gonna come through, but I'm going to keep working," he said. Since joining the Mets from the Yankees, Soto has faced high expectations. While his overall performance has been under scrutiny, the team remains confident in his abilities. Mets President of Baseball Operations David Stearns noted that Soto might be "trying to do too much" under the weight of expectations (via New York Post's Dan Martin). The Mets will return to action against the Rockies on Saturday.

Mets Morning News for May 25, 2025
Meet the Mets After Friday night's marathon debacle, David Peterson gave the Mets just what the doctor ordered in a 5-2 victory over the Dodgers, pitching 7 2⁄ 3 brilliant innings that included three strikeouts of Shohei Ohtani. The Dodgers got out to an early lead, but the Mets put up a three-run fourth against Tony Gonsolin punctuated by a Juan Soto RBI double off the left-center field wall. Thanks to Peterson's strong outing, the Mets were able to give the rest of the bullpen some much needed rest and go right to Edwin Díaz in the eighth for a four-out save and he delivered a vintage Díaz performance, setting down all four batters he faced in order—three of them via the strikeout. Kodai Senga takes the mound for the Mets in tonight's rubber game on Sunday Night Baseball. Advertisement Choose your recap: Amazin' Avenue, NY Post, Newsday, Daily News, The Athletic, ESPN Having completely emptied their bullpen on Friday night, the Mets made a couple of roster moves before the game yesterday. Génesis Cabrera was designated for assignment and Brandon Waddell was brought up. The Mets also designated José Azócar for assignment and replaced him with a more offensively potent bench player in Jared Young, who had eye-popping numbers in Triple A. Brandon Nimmo first experienced the current bout of neck stiffness he is dealing with while making breakfast on Friday, which made it difficult for him to turn his head to face Kershaw in Friday night's game. This has been a chronic issue for Nimmo ever since 2019 and he thinks he will bounce back soon. Frankie Montas began a rehab assignment with the Brooklyn Cyclones yesterday, as he tries to make his way back from a lat strain he suffered in spring training. Advertisement Francisco Lindor was celebrated prior to last night's game for reaching ten years of service time. Around the National League East The Phillies won their ninth straight game, putting up three runs in the top of the eleventh to beat the A's 9-6 in extras. Aaron Nola did not throw a planned bullpen session yesterday because he is still experiencing soreness in his sprained right ankle. The Nationals blanked the Giants 3-0 thanks to eight dominant scoreless innings from Jake Irvin. Ronald Acuña Jr. homered yet again in the Braves' commanding 7-1 victory over the Padres at Truist Park. The Braves acquired infielder Jonathan Ornelas from the Rangers for cash considerations. Advertisement Cal Quantrill pitched just 3 1⁄ 3 innings in the Marlins' 6-2 win over the angels, but Janson Junk pitched the final five innings of the game in relief for Miami to earn the save. Junk had just been called up from Triple A. Around Major League Baseball Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman was placed on the 10-day injured list with a quad strain that Alex Cora called 'a significant injury' that will likely cost Bregman a lot of time. In his absence, the Red Sox called up top infield prospect Marcelo Mayer. The problem? Mayer's car keys have been missing for weeks and so he had to hitch a ride from a WooSox clubhouse attendant for his major league debut at Fenway Park. The Guardians placed Hunter Gaddis on the bereavement list following a death in his family. To take his spot in the bullpen, the Guardians promoted righty Nic Enright, whose big league dreams were stalled by a cancer diagnosis in 2022. But now, less than three years later, he has made it to The Show. This Date in Mets History On this date in 1979, the Mets played a game against the Pirates that ended in a tie due to a thick fog descending over the ballpark that limited visibility such that continuing play was not possible and would not dissipate.
