Mets Move Up Slightly In Latest Power Rankings, But Clay Holmes Injury Is Tough Blow
After a thrilling Subway Series surge and a climb in the record, the new York Mets moved up slightly in the latest power rankings.

Then, the Mets took two out of three against the New York Yankees, and everyone was thinking the tide might be turning in the Mets' favor after a sluggish start to 2026. On Sunday, the Mets overcame a deficit and scored four runs in the ninth and tenth innings, with Carson Benge driving in the game-winning run on a fielder's choice in extras.
Tyrone Taylor was arguably the hero as he hit a game-tying three-run home run in the bottom of the ninth with two outs. TYRONE HAS CITI FIELD GOING CRAZY! 😤 pic.
