Brian Joura Mets360: "Edwin Diaz couldn’t hold a two-run lead in the ninth inning and the Mets couldn’t score in either the ninth or 10th, which led to a 5-4 loss to the Phillies Monday night." 


NY Post: "The Mets collectively blew it in extras. A Reid-Foley pitch split Tomas Nido’s legs, advancing ghost runner Bryce Harper to third. Reid-Foley walked Nick Castellanos only after the Mets asked for a review to ensure it was indeed ball four and not ball three, before Stott’s sacrifice fly scored the game-winner. In the bottom of the inning, Joey Wendle, who even in spot starts has had several rough moments this season, popped up a bunt for an out against Jose Alvarado."


From the Phillies 5 Mets 4 Post Game Notes - 5/13/2024 

Mets: 
  • Are 2-4 in extra-inning games this season and 7-5 in one-run games...Are 15-2 when leading after eight innings.
Sean Manaea: 
  • Has posted consecutive quality starts...Has five quality starts since September 22, 2023, tied for the fourth-most in the majors among left-handed pitchers during that span.
  • Is the ninth pitcher in franchise history to allow one or zero home runs in their first eight starts with the club...Is the third Mets hurler in the last four years to accomplish the feat joining Taijuan Walker (2021) and Jose Quintana (2023). 
J.D. Martinez: 
  • Put the Mets on the board with an RBI double in the second...Four of his six RBI this season have come in his past five games.
  • Drew a bases loaded walk in the third...Has 129 career RBI with the bases loaded, third-most among active players.
  • Collected his first three-hit game since September 18, 2023 and was his first time reaching base four times in a game since September 19, 2023.

Mets-Nats game gets suspended after the 3rd - gets completed the next day, goes into the record book as a May 13th game.


Box Score - Game 1: Washington Nationals 3 Mets 2 Brandon Nimmo CF 2 for 4, double, 1 RBI, 1 K; Jeff McNeil LF 0 for 4, 1 RBI, 1 K; Francisco Lindor SS 0 for 4, 1 K; Pete Alonso 1B 1 for 4, 1 K; Brett Baty 3B 2 for 4, 1 K; Michael Perez C 4 for 4, double, 1 run scored; Joey Lucchesi 2 innings, 1 run - earned, 4 hits, 1 walk; Stephen Nogosek 3 innings, 1 run - earned, 2 hits, 1 walk, 2 Ks; Dominic Leone (L,0-1) 2 innings,  1 run - earned, 3 hits, 1 HR, ; Dennis Santana; 1 inning, no runs, 1 hit, 1 K;


NY Post: Mets’ offense dries up in loss to Nationals after rain suspension.  "The Mets managed only one hit with runners in scoring position in a 3-2 loss at Nationals Park.  For the Mets it was a fourth straight game in which they scored fewer than four runs. The Mets’ loss was their 14th in 19 games.  Joey Lucchesi (who was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse before the game resumed) allowed a run in the first inning on Joey Meneses’ RBI single.  CJ Abrams’ RBI single against Stephen Nogosek in the fourth gave the Nationals a 2-1 lead. Michael Perez singled in the seventh — the catcher’s third hit of the game — and scored the tying run on Jeff McNeil’s sacrifice fly following Nimmo’s double. CJ Abrams put the Nationals ahead 3-2 in the bottom of the inning on a leadoff homer against Dominic Leone. Perez also singled in the ninth, giving him a 4-for-4 afternoon."

Francisco Lindor (0-2, RBI, BB): Plated the Mets' lone run of the game with a

a sacrifice fly in the first inning. 

Metstradamus: Death by Humidity. "Pete Alonso made a bid to tie the game in the 8th, but any ball that was getting up in the humid air was dying on the vine."

NY Post: Mets bullpen coughs up Matt Harvey gem as skid hits three. "The Mets right-hander departed Wrigley Field with zip, zilch and nada, victimized by his anemic lineup and a bullpen meltdown. After Carlos Torres (L,1-2) allowed a run in the eighth and loaded the bases in the ninth, Jeurys Familia walked Chris Coghlan to force home the winning run in the Mets’ 2-1 loss to the Cubs...Over 100 pitches, Harvey allowed three hits and struck out nine with two walks [7 innings] . In his four starts this season following a Mets loss, he owns a 0.63 ERA."


ESPN.com: Cubs walk off with win over Mets. “Torres gave up back-to-back hits to Anthony Rizzo and Starlin Castro to start the ninth inning before intentionally walking Miguel Montero. Mets manager Terry Collins brought in closer Jeurys Familia with the bases loaded. After striking out Jorge Soler, Familia walked Coghlan to give the Cubs the win.”

NY Post: Aces dominate before Nieve’s wild pitch finishes Mets. "Fernando Nieve (L,1-2) found another distinct way for the Mets to lose a ballgame last night, unloading a wild pitch in the ninth inning that allowed Cody Ross to score the winning run for the Marlins...Johan Santana allowed one unearned run over seven innings for his second straight no-decision. It was the lefty’s best start since pitching seven scoreless innings against the Cardinals on April 17, when he got a no-decision in a game the Mets won in 20 innings...Barajas’ RBI single in the second gave the Mets a 1-0 lead, but they could have gotten more. With runners on first and second, Santana hit a shot that first baseman Gaby Sanchez snared to end the inning, saving at least one run."

NY Post: GOLD GLAV ; KOS CARDS WITH HELP FROM FLOYD HRS. "Glavine found a 1-2 combination that kept the Cardinals on the canvas. He increased his tempo between pitches and decreased the velocity on his fastball while twirling seven-plus scoreless innings of four-hit ball in the Mets’ 2-0 victory. Staked to two Cliff Floyd homers on a night when the Mets only mustered three hits, the 39-year-old lefty kept a short-handed but still potent St. Louis lineup off balance. He even pitched inside more often to win for only the second time in eight starts."

NY Post:  Just Van-tastic - Wilson's 3 run Homer lifts Mets to Victory. "Starting for just the sixth time this season, Vance Wilson was the hero in the Mets’ 7-4 win over the Diamondbacks. The Mesa, Ariz., native drilled a three-run homer that turned a 1-0 deficit into a 3-1 advantage, and the Mets never trailed again...Wilson wasn’t the only contributor last night. Danny Garcia had two hits, including a solo homer, and scored two runs. Kaz Matsui reached base three times and scored two runs. In his first game back, Cliff Floyd had an RBI single...Jae Seo (W,2-3) was decent in his five innings, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks. But incredibly, he once again fell victim not to control or command issues, but to his troublesome right index finger, exiting with a blister."
