NY Post: Jorge Lopez calls Mets ‘worst team in the whole f–king MLB,’ gets DFA’d after glove-launching tantrum. "Prior to the team announcing the move, Lopez had a bizarre postgame interview with reporters in which he expressed no regret for his actions and seemingly called the Mets “the worst team probably in the whole f–king MLB,” although there was some confusion about what Lopez meant, since the native of Puerto Rico was speaking in English, his second language.

NY Post: One bad inning, silent bats doom Mets, Harvey in loss to Marlins. "Harvey bounced back after the worst outing of his career, last weekend in Pittsburgh, to strike out 11 Marlins in eight innings, but he left a breaking ball over the middle of the plate that Justin Bour drilled for a three-run home run in the fourth inning, and the Mets’ offense failed to get much going against Marlins starter Dan Haren...The Mets managed just four hits against Marlins starter Dan Haren and scored off of him only on home runs from Lucas Duda and Curtis Granderson. The Mets offense continued to betray Harvey scoring just nine total runs in his past five starts.

"Jeremy Hefner earned his first victory in the majors, highlighting the occasion by homering for his first big league hit as the Mets beat the Philadelphia Phillies 6-3 on a rainy Tuesday night. The 26-year-old rookie became the first major league pitcher to hit his first homer in his first win since 2002, when Dennis Tankersley did it with San Diego, STATS LLC said.

NY Post: Piazza HR gets Mets Healthy - solo shot in 7th lifts Amazin's back into 1st. "With the score tied 3-3 in the seventh inning, Piazza didn’t miss against reliever Jose Santiago, unleashing a team’s worth of frustration with one swing. The pitch, a 2-2 offering that was a 91-mile- per-hour fastball, soared over the fence to the left of the center-field flagpole. Piazza’s 426-foot bomb, his 10th homer of the year, gave the Mets a much-needed 4-3 victory over the Phillies and catapulted them back into a first-place tie with the Braves, who lost by a similar score to the Expos last night in Atlanta."
