Regarding Francisco Álvarez's ankle, the top prospect is still scheduled to receive additional opinions in the coming days. The Mets don't anticipate knowing more about his status/the rest of his season until late this week.

1965

Giants center fielder Willie Mays breaks Ralph Kiner's record for home runs in a month when the 'Say Hey Kid' hits a moon shot off Jack Fischer for his 17th round-tripper in an 8-3 victory over New York. The former Pirates outfielder, now a broadcaster for the Mets on WHN radio and WOR-TV, calls the four-bagger which breaks the monthly mark he established with 16 round-trippers in 1949 during September.

Baseball Reference:

2011: It's a rare good day for the Mets, who sweep the Marlins in a doubleheader at Citi Field, 2 - 1 and 5 - 1. R.A. Dickey pitches 7 scoreless innings to win the opener, and Dillon Gee follows by allowing only 1 run in 6 innings in the nitecap to improve to 12-5 on the year. Jose Reyes returns to the line-up in the second game and drives in a run, after missing three weeks to a hamstring injury. The Mets had been swept in their previous two doubleheaders this year.

One Year Ago today - The "Thumbs Down" controversy - here is what NY Post had:

• Steve Cohen weighs in on Mets’ ‘thumbs-down’ gestures “I miss the days when the biggest controversy was the black jerseys,” Cohen tweeted late Sunday night.”
• Sandy Alderson slams Mets players’ ‘thumb’ war with fans: ‘Will not be tolerated’
• Mets, Javier Baez making colossal mistake waging war with fans “What a way to celebrate a two-game winning streak — by having the home-run hero attack the fans and write his own dream tabloid headline: BAEZ TO CITY — DROP DEAD”
