Collects first win of season
Duarte (1-0) picked up the win Monday over Atlanta, walking one batter over two scoreless, no-hit innings. He didn't strike out a batter.
Analysis
The Mets cruised to a win after posting a five-spot in the first inning, but starter Christian Scott lasted only four frames before getting the hook. Duarte was credited with the win after holding Atlanta in check in the seventh and eighth innings before handing the ball off to Kodai Senga for the save. Duarte has been stingy since rejoining the big-league bullpen after the All-Star break, and over his last nine appearances and 12.1 innings he's produced a 1.46 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 10:4 K:BB with one save and two holds in addition to his first win of 2026.

Notches first save
Duarte earned the save in Wednesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Guardians, working around a walk in a scoreless inning.
Analysis
After the Mets took the lead in the top of the 10th, Duarte was called upon to close out the game in the bottom half. After walking Chase DeLauter with one out, Duarte settled in to record the final two outs, stranding the tying and go-ahead runs on base to earn his second major-league save and his first since 2023. Duarte has been sharp out of the bullpen in his brief stint with New York, allowing just two runs on seven hits through his first 14.1 innings. He could find himself in a high-leverage role down the stretch after the Mets traded away Luke Weaver, A.J. Minter, Huascar Brazoban and Brooks Raley ahead of the trade deadline.
