Mets cut reliever Jake Diekman and promote fellow lefty Matt Gage from Triple-A Syracuse
NEW YORK (AP) — In a surprising move Monday, the New York Mets cut veteran reliever Jake Diekman and promoted fellow left-hander Matt Gage from Triple-A Syracuse. Diekman was 2-3 with a 5.63 ERA and four saves in a team-high 43 appearances after signing a $4 million, one-year contract with the Mets in February. He earned a huge save at Yankee Stadium last Tuesday, striking out red-hot slugger Aaron Judge with a runner aboard in the ninth inning of a 3-2 victory.
Mets’ Offseason Blueprint Could Affect Trade Deadline Strategy
The New York Mets have played themselves into being buyers at this year’s trade deadline. While president of baseball operations David Stearns has already made moves for relievers' Phil Maton and Ryne Stanek while also adding Jesse Winker to the outfield equation, the recent injuries to Kodai Senga and Christian Scott have turned New York’s attention toward bolstering their starting rotation before Tuesday’s 6 p.m. deadline.
Mets ride three huge innings to blowout of Twins
Pete Alonso homered to lead off a six-run fourth inning on Monday night for the host New York Mets, who rolled to a 15-2 win over the Minnesota Twins in the opener of a three-game interleague series. Eight starters had at least one hit and one RBI for the Mets, who later added five- and four-run innings while snapping a two-game losing streak and improving to 16-9 this month. Jesse Winker, the lone New York starter without an RBI, was 1-for-2 with a walk before being lifted for Tyrone Taylor following the fifth inning. Taylor went 2-for-2 with two runs. Jeff McNeil and Luis Torrens had three RBIs apiece for the Mets, and Torrens had a game-high three hits. Byron Buxton laced an RBI single in the first and Ryan Jeffers homered in the ninth for the Twins, who have lost six of their past 10. Buxton finished 2-for-2 with a walk. Twins starter Simeon Woods Richardson (3-2) opened the game with three scoreless innings before Alonso homered on his second pitch of the fourth. The next six batters also reached -- including McNeil, Torrens and Francisco Lindor, all of whom had RBI singles -- before Brandon Nimmo and J.D. Martinez hit consecutive sacrifice flies. Nimmo's RBI, which made it 5-1, knocked Woods Richardson from the game. Cole Sands took over on the mound. The Mets sent 11 batters to the plate in the sixth, when Nimmo (single), Martinez (forceout), Mark Vientos (bases-loaded walk), McNeil (sacrifice fly) and Harrison Bader (hit by pitch) all collected an RBI. Alonso and McNeil had run-scoring doubles in the seventh before Torrens hit a two-RBI double off outfielder Matt Wallner, who made his first major league pitching appearance. Jose Quintana (6-6) cruised to the win after allowing one run on five hits and one walk while striking out five over six innings. Jose Butto earned his second save of the year, permitting four hits and a run over the final three innings. Woods Richardson gave up six runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out two over 3 1/3 innings. Wallner, who threw mostly pitches clocked below 50 mph, got the final four outs without allowing a run. --Field Level Media.

Mets DFA Ex-Red Sox Reliever; Could Boston Seek Bullpen Reunion?
Although the MLB trade deadline is less than 48 hours away, the Boston Red Sox don’t need to rely solely on striking a deal with a suitor in order to add depth. The front office kicked off its efforts to improve the pitching staff, first by adding James Paxton from the Los Angeles Dodgers and then by acquiring Quinn Priester from the Pittsburgh Pirates. But after a sudden roster move that took place in the National League, perhaps the door has opened for yet another pitching reunion in Boston, this time involving reliever Jake Diekman.
