Brian Joura Mets360: "Coming into Friday’s game, the Mets had a starting pitcher go at least six innings 12 times and were 12-0 in those games. Max Scherzer allowed just one run in seven innings and the Mets upped their record to 13-0 with a 5-2 win against the Rockies in Denver."
Mets.com: "The veteran right-hander, who had been 0-3 with a 6.39 ERA over six previous starts in the Mile High City, gave up one run on six hits, walking none and striking out a season-high eight on 102 pitches as Scherzer completed seven innings for the first time this season."
Metstradamus: "Nimmo and Lindor went BB/HR to start the game (scoring first makes a huge difference with this team too), and Nimmo would end up with three walks and two triples while Lindor would drive home four runs to give the Mets everything they needed offensively."

Curtis Granderson’s throwing error on the play allowed a second run to score and Russell Martin’s RBI double against Carlos Torres completed the carnage in the inning."
After the game, the Mets fired Hitting Coach Dave Hudgens and released veteran reliever Jose Valverde.

NY Post: Mets snap out of grand funk. After two straight shutouts, the offense erupted with 14 hits to notch a 12-4 victory for Kris Benson and snap a four-game skid. Benson (3-1) surfed a wave of run support from a maddeningly inconsistent lineup, as every starter hit safely and either scored or drove in a run...They finally broke their scoreless streak in the second after 19 innings thanks to Benson. With two on and nobody out, Doug Mientkiewicz fouled out to third and Eric Valent struck out looking. But Benson ripped the first pitch...for an RBI single to center that tied the game at 1-1.

NY Post: Unlucky Seventh - Piazza's Error, Bad Inning Sink Mets. "The Mets last night owned a three-run lead after six innings with a rested bullpen ready...the Mets turned prosperity into calamity, watching a three-run lead morph into a three-run deficit and an eventual 7-4 loss. They allowed six runs (only one earned). Ran through four pitchers. Committed two errors...The most damaging...from Mike Piazza. The converted first baseman committed his fourth miscue of the year at his new position...With runners on first and second, one out, and the Mets clinging to a 3-2 lead, Chase Utley smashed a hard shot to Piazza for a potential double play. Piazza made a nifty grab, turned, fired to Kaz Matsui covering second to get the forceout . . . and promptly whipped the ball into left field. Tie game. Three more runs later, thoughts of a sweep were gone."

National Pastime.com: "In front of a meager crowd of 2,503 fans at Wrigley Field, the visiting Mets set a franchise record for runs scored when the team pummels the Cubs, 19-1 on 23 hits. New York's 25 year-old first baseman Dick Smith, batting leadoff, becomes the first player in franchise history to collect five hits in a game, nearly 20% of season total of 21, when he collects a double, a triple, and three singles."
