Brian Joura Mets360: "The back end of the Mets’ bullpen has been so good for so long. But two of their best relievers gave up homers late, turning a 2-0 lead into a 3-2 loss Sunday afternoon in San Diego. The loss means the Mets split the four-game series with the Padres. But, should the two teams tie, the Mets hold the tie breaker, having won five of the seven games between the two clubs."


NY Post: Mets settle for disappointing split with Padres as Edwin Diaz, bullpen falter in crushing loss "Jose Quintana was at his best, and the Mets needed it. The left-hander delivered 6 ¹/₃ shutout innings in which he allowed four hits and two walks."




Mets are off on Monday. They start a series with the Diamondbacks in Arizona on Tuesday.

Today in Mets History Per Ultimatemets.com: 

Born on this date:


1965
At Shea Stadium, the Mets beat the Dodgers, 5-2, making Tug McGraw (2-2) the first Mets pitcher to defeat Sandy Koufax (21-7). Previously, New York had lost 13 consecutive times to the future Hall of Fame southpaw.
1968
After starting his career 0-5, Jim McAndrew gets his first major league victory when he goes the distance at Busch Stadium, blanking St. Louis on five hits, 1-0. In his first four major league starts, the Mets failed to score a run, resulting in two 2-0 and two 1-0 defeats for the 24 year-old rookie right-hander.

1993
The Mets announce that Vince Coleman will remain on paid administrative leave until the end of the season, effectively ending his playing career with the team. Co-owner Fred Wilpon's unequivocal decision that the controversial outfielder, who signed a four-year $11.95 million contract before the 1991 season, will not ever put on a Mets uniform again is the result of Coleman admitting to tossing a M-100 firecracker from a Jeep departing from a Dodger Stadium parking lot last month, injuring three people.
1996
The Mets replaced Dallas Green as their manager with Bobby Valentine, a former coach who left the organization to manage in Texas. During his stormy seven-year tenure in New York, Bobby 'V' will compile a 536-467 (.534) record and will lead the team to the NL pennant in 2000.

2008
Driving in Damion Easley with a fourth-inning groundout at Citizens Bank Park, Mets infielder David Wright becomes the first player in franchise history to have four 100-RBIs seasons. The 25 year-old has reached the plateau every year since becoming the team's regular third baseman.


2011: Chris Capuano tosses the best game of his career, throwing a two-hit shutout while striking out 13, as the Mets defeat the Braves, 6 - 0.
