Diamondbacks 3 Mets 2 (Box Score) Jeff McNeil LF 2 for 3, 1 run scored, 1 walk; Starling Marte RF 1 for 3, HR, 2 RBIs, 1 run scored, 1 walk; Francisco Lindor SS 0 for 3, 1 walk; Pete Alonso 1B 0 for 4; Carlos Carrasco 5 innings, no runs, 3 hits, 2 walks, 8 Ks; Joely Rodriguez (L, 0-1) 1 inning, 1 run - earned, 1 hit, 2 Ks; Seth Lugo 2 runs - both earned, 2 hits, 1 HR, 1 walk, 2 Ks; 

Metstradamus: Lugo? More Like Lu-Gone (I’ll See Myself Out). "Joely Rodriguez took the loss on Saturday as the Diamondbacks hung tough and surprised the Mets with a 3-2 victory. But in reality, it was Seth Lugo’s outing that should be some cause for concern going forward in the immediate future."

Brian Joura Mets360: "The Mets got another good outing from a starting pitcher. But a leaky bullpen and an offense that was missing in action for most of the game led to a 3-2 loss to the Diamondbacks Saturday afternoon in Citi Field."

National Pastime.com:

1964

After spending the first two years of their existence at the Polo Grounds, the Mets play their first game at Shea Stadium in front of 50,312 fans in Queens. The Amazins' drop the stadium opener to Pittsburgh, 4-3, with Willie Stargell hitting the first homer in the Flushing facility.

1969

In only the ninth game of the franchise's history, Expos hurler Bill Stoneman, who had never thrown a complete game in the major leagues, tosses a no-hitter, defeating the Phillies at Connie Mack Stadium, 7-0. The 25 year-old right-hander, the future GM of the Angels, will throw another no-hit game in 1972 against the Mets.

 

2006

In front of 36,867 Shea Stadium patrons, Pedro Martinez becomes the 103rd pitcher in major league history to win 200 games when the Mets beat the Braves, 4-3. The Dominican ace has lost only 84 contests at the time of reaching the milestone, putting him behind only Bob Caruthers (74), Whitey Ford (79), and Lefty Grove (83).

2009

At Citi Field, Gary Sheffield becomes the 25th player to hit 500 career home runs. Joining Ty Cobb and Rusty Staub as the only major leaguers to homer as a teenager and as a forty year-old, the recently released Tiger DH becomes the first to reach the milestone as a pinch hitter and the first to accomplish the feat in a Mets uniform.

 

Baseball Reference:

1967 - In the only game scheduled on this Monday evening, the New York Mets pound Pittsburgh, 9 - 6. Obscured amidst the offensive fireworks is the sorry plight of poor Jerry Buchek, a career backup infielder on the verge of his career year who's got to be wondering what he ever did to Pirate right fielder Roberto Clemente, likewise embarking on his own best-ever season. Clemente abuses Buchek on both sides of the ball, starting with his 2nd-inning snatch of his 400-footer to right center. Pirate beat writer Les Biederman reports: "Clemente went toward the exit gate for a startling back-handed stab of Buchek's long drive." Next inning, one of Roberto's patented one-hop rockets undresses the Met second baseman even as it dares him to return Clemente's favor. "Clemente slammed a vicious one-hop shot right at Buchek," writes Biederman, "but the second baseman dropped the ball as he set himself to throw."

1970 - Bud Harrelson of the New York Mets hits a home run in the 1st inning of a 6 - 0 win over the Phillies. The homer is one of only seven in Harrelson's 16-year career and the only one he will ever hit at Shea Stadium.

2006: At Shea Stadium, the Mets continue their strong start to the season with a 4 - 3 victory over Atlanta as Pedro Martinez collects his 200th win with relief help from Duaner Sanchez and Billy Wagner. Martinez, from the Dominican Republic, improves his record to 200-84 and joins Dennis Martinez of Nicaragua (245-193), Dominican Juan Marichal (243-142) and Cuban Luis Tiant (229-172), as the only Hispanic American pitchers to reach the 200-win major league mark.

2009 - Gary Sheffield becomes the 25th member of the 500 home run club. He delivers a pinch-hit homer off the Brewers' Mitch Stetter in the 7th inning of a game at Citi Field, still in its first month of operation. It is Sheffield's first home run for the New York Mets, after having been released in spring training by the Detroit Tigers while sitting on 499 home runs. The Mets win the game, 5 - 4, on Luis Castillo's 9th inning two-out single.

2010: The Mets need 20 innings to beat the Cardinals, 2 - 1, in the longest game since this date in 2008. Jose Reyes drives in the winning run with a sacrifice fly after going 0 for 7 for the day in a game dominated by the pitchers. Both starters, Johan Santana for New York and Jaime Garcia for St. Louis, pitch 7 scoreless innings and the game is still scoreless after 17 frames, but the Cardinals eventually run out of able-bodied pitchers. 2B Felipe Lopez is sent out to the mound and pitches a scoreless 18th inning, while P Kyle Lohse goes out to play left field, but their teammate, OF Joe Mather, gives up a run in the top of the 19th. However, Mets closer Francisco Rodriguez gives the run right back, but the Mets score again off Mather in the 20th. Mather is saddled with the loss, while Rodriguez gets the win and starter Mike Pelfrey comes out in the 21st to record the save for the Mets.
