Mike Puma NY Post: Francisco Lindor homers twice as Mets survive late rally to beat Phillies for fifth straight win. "The Mets shortstop, struggling on the road, has been Superman at Citi Field...Lindor’s three-run blast in the seventh gave the Mets their final runs. He also homered leading off for a second straight day. All five of Lindor’s homers this season have been hit at home."

— SNY (@SNYtv) April 21, 2025
"I think we have two catchers who we feel really good about. Mendy's going to decide who plays every day and who gives us the best chance to win. We certainly think… pic.twitter.com/aJ1SXM9227
"To his credit, he's competed very well at the Major League level, both last September and through the first couple weeks this year. He deserves a lot of credit for that, that's not easy to do."

FINAL: Mets 5, Phillies 4

WP: Tylor Megill
LP: Aaron Nola
SV: Edwin Díaz
📰 Francisco Lindor hit two homers and drove home four runs, while Megill was legit nasty and Díaz held on for a shaky save.
📊 Record: 16-7
📈 Streak: W5
🏃♂️ Pace: 113-49
Next: Tuesday vs. PHI, 7:10 p.m.
If you're watching Mets game, the big event is Lindor's multi-homer game, but the huge play was Tyrone Taylor hustling down the line to stay out of double play just before Lindor. Without that, no Lindor AB at all.

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