Anthony Reiber Newsday"Trailing 3-0 in the eighth inning, the Mets rallied for four two-out runs on an RBI infield single by Brandon Nimmo and a three-run triple by Mark Vientos."

Brian Joura Mets 360: "With a one-run lead, the Mets opted to give Edwin Diaz the night off, sending Ryne Stanek out for the ninth inning. He allowed a fly ball deep to right field, one that Juan Soto leaped for and perhaps due to closing his glove too soon, wound up as a triple. A single past a drawn-in infield tied the game."

Andrew Tredinnick The Record: "The Nationals' James Wood delivered a walk-off RBI single up the middle off A.J. Minter, scoring CJ Abrams from first base, as the Mets saw their seven-game win streak snapped in a 5-4 loss on Friday night at Nationals Park."

Mike Puma NY Post: "It might have been a better night for the Mets if not for first base umpire Alfonso Márquez’s missed call in the fourth that resulted in the Nationals turning a triple play. Jesse Winker hit a shot to first base, and Márquez ruled that first baseman Nathainel Lowe, with runners advancing from first and second, caught Winker’s ball on a line before throwing to second, where Abrams was credited for recording two outs. Replays showed Winker’s ball hit the ground, but the play was not reviewable. Nimmo and Vientos each singled to begin the inning and were caught off base on the ball that Márquez ruled caught by Lowe."

1977

The Rangers trade Lenny Randle, under suspension for the spring training altercation in which he fractured manager Frank Lucchesi's cheekbone, to the Mets for a player to be named later (infielder Rick Auerbach) and cash. Joe Torre, the New York's new skipper, replacing Joe Frazier, shifts the 28-year-old second baseman to third base.

1988

Keith Hernandez hits two homers and drives in seven runs to reach the 1000 RBI milestone. The Mets' first baseman's offensive output, which includes an eighth-inning grand slam off Charley Puleo, contributes to the Mets' 13-4 rout of the Braves at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium.

1995

In the debut of Coors Field, the Rockies defeat the Mets in 14 innings, tying the National League record for the number of innings played in a season opener. After New York's first baseman Rico Brogna collects the ballpark's first home run, a fourth-inning line drive off Bill Swift, Dante Bichette ends the contest with a walk-off blasting the 14th frame, giving Colorado a dramatic come-from-behind 11-9 victory.

2006

At the age of 47, Julio Franco becomes the second-oldest player to steal a bag when he swipes second base in the eighth inning of the Mets' 9-7 victory over the Giants at AT&T Park. In 1909, Arlie Latham, who played two games at second base for the Giants, purloined a sack as a 49-year old.

2012

Using a home-grown starting lineup for the first time since 1971, New York beats Miami when Heath Bell walks four batters in the ninth inning, including Justin Turner's 13-pitch at-bat that knots the score before he gives up a game-winning two-out single to the rookie Kirk Nieuwenhuis. Forty-one years ago, Gil Hodges used a lineup of all former Mets farmhands that included Ed Kranepool, Bud Harrelson, Tim Foli, Ted Martinez, Mike Jorgensen, Duffy Dyer, John Milner, and Jerry Koosman.
