From the Mets Post Game Notes:

Mets: Are the first team in the majors to reach 10 wins...Have won their first four series of the season...Won a four-game series against the Giants for the first time since July 30-August 2, 2012 in San Francisco. 

New York's starting pitchers are 8-1 with a 2.10 ERA (18 ER/77.0 IP) with 86 strikeouts and 17 walks...Starters are holding opponents to a .174 (47-270) average and have given up just six home runs.

Carlos Carrasco (7.2 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 7 K): Earned his first victory of the season after pitching his longest outing as a Met (longest since May 4, 2019 with Cleveland vs. Seattle, also 7.2 IP)...Allowed just one hit after the second inning, retiring 20 of the last 22 batters he faced.
  • Has 20 strikeouts and just two walks in 18.1 innings this season.
  • Has tossed back-to-back scoreless first innings for the first time since his last six starts of the 2020 season.
  • Marcus Stroman (8.0 IP, July 21, 2021) was the last Mets pitcher to throw at least 7.2 innings in a game.
NY Post: "The Mets used excellent pitching, a pair of home runs, a rarely seen hit-and-run and timely hitting to take a series from the reigning NL West champions on Thursday. The matinee final was 6-2 over the Giants at Citi Field in front of 28,760. For the Mets, that’s four series played, four series won to begin the season."

Greg Prince Faith and Fear in Flushing Won & Hardly Done: "Sitting through games like Thursday afternoon’s 6-2 Mets victory, on the other hand, is a genuine pleasure. Carlos Carrasco gave up a run in the second inning, and guess what — neither the world nor the game ended."

Metstradamus: The story of Thursday’s 6-2 victory above all else was Cookie Carrasco. Carlos went 7 and 2/3’s innings becoming the first Mets starting pitcher to throw a pitch in the 8th inning this season, and if you had Carrasco as the first Met to do that on your bingo card, then I’d like to know where the hell you get your bingo cards.

Texas Rangers claimed Darren O'Day of the New York Mets on waivers on April 22, 2009. 

National Pastime.com:

1970

On the day he is presented with his Cy Young Award, Mets' fireballer Tom Seaver ties a major league record by whiffing 19 Padres, including the last ten he faces, to gain a 2-1 win at Shea Stadium. Batterymate Jerry Grote sets the major league mark with ten consecutive putouts in a game for a catcher.

2008

In a scheduling oddity, both New York big league teams play in Chicago, with the Mets playing the Cubs in a matinee, and the Yankees taking on the White Sox in an evening tilt. This unusual occurrence marks the first time in 11+ years that two teams from one city have both played as the visitors in the same city on the same date, a quirk likely necessitated due to the Pope's weekend visit to the Bronx, whose appearance included a mass at Yankee Stadium two days ago.

 

Baseball Reference:

1962 - The Pittsburgh Pirates win their 10th straight game, edging the New York Mets, 4 - 3, and matching the major-league record to start a season, while the Mets tie a National League record by opening 0-9.

1966 - The Braves win their first game in Atlanta by beating the Mets, 8 - 4.
