The New York Mets continue to assert their dominance in the National League, showcasing resilience and depth as they navigate the 2025 season. With a current record of 38-22, the Mets sit atop the NL East, boasting a +68 run differential and a 96.9% chance of making the postseason (via Baseball Reference).

The month of May presented challenges for the Mets, who finished the month with a 15-12 record. That said, despite facing formidable opponents and dealing with injuries to key players, the Mets still maintained a winning record.

A main figure in the Mets' success has been closer Edwin Díaz.

An exceptional performance from the 31-year-old in May has now earned him the National League Reliever of the Month award. MLB announced this news on Tuesday.

Díaz recorded a 0.00 ERA over 11.1 innings, allowing only three hits, striking out 14 batters, and securing five saves. His dominance in high-leverage situations has been instrumental in the Mets' ability to close out tight games. Following the news, the Mets took to social media to celebrate this milestone with a 30-second clip, highlighting some of Díaz's big plays.

"Sound the trumpets!" the team wrote. "@SugarDiaz39 has been named National League Reliever of the Month!"

Overall, Díaz has been a cornerstone of the Mets' bullpen, contributing significantly to their league-best 2.85 ERA . His reliability and consistency have provided the team with a sense of security in late-game scenarios.

As the Mets continue their series against the Dodgers, they aim to build on their recent successes. With Tylor Megill (4-4, 3.52 ERA) set to face Clayton Kershaw (0-0, 4.91 ERA) in the upcoming game, the team looks to clinch the series and maintain their momentum into June.
