From the Mets 6 White Sox 4 Post Game Notes - 5/27/2025

Mets: 

• Defeated the White Sox, 6-4, in the second game of their three-game set...Are on a four-game winning streak and have won five of their last six contests...Marked their 11th series win and have an 8-1 record in series at home.

Pete Alonso: 

• Hit a game-tying two-run homer in the bottom of the first...Has hit two home runs over his last three games after previously not hitting a longball in a career-high 65 at-bats.

Jared Young: 

• Recorded multiple extra-base hits for the first time in his career...He recorded his first hit as a member of the Mets, a go-ahead two-run homer in the first inning...Also hit a double in the third.

Brandon Nimmo: 

• Scored his 532nd career run in the first inning on Pete Alonso’s home run, tying Mike Piazza for the 10th-most runs scored in franchise history.

Tylor Megill: 

• Recorded his fourth win of the season after tossing 5.2 innings...Gave up both of his earned runs in the first inning after allowing a two-run homer to Miguel Vargas...With 100 pitches tonight, was the second game this season he has reached the triple-digit mark (also: career-high 105 pitches on April 27 at Washington).

Reed Garrett: 

• Recorded his second save of the season after tossing the final five outs of the game...Extended his scoreless inning streak to 7.0 innings.

Brett Baty: 

• Has recorded multiple hits in four of his last six games (since May 21)...Since being recalled from Syracuse on May 5, has hit .327 (16-49) with eight runs, one doubles, five home runs, 13 RBI, two walks, one stolen base and a 1.006 OPS in 14 games as a starter.

Jeff McNeil: 

• Hit a sac fly to right field in the third inning, extending the Mets’ lead to 5-2...Was his first multi-hit game since April 28 at Washington. 

José Castillo: 

• Stranded an inherited runner in the seventh inning...Has stranded each of his four runners with the Mets and six on the season.

NY Post: The Mets came out ready to swing and did the bulk of their damage with an eyeblink of a two-homer, four-run first inning in a 6-4 win that sealed a series victory over the pushover White Sox in front of a Citi Field crowd of 34,944, who missed most of the action if they arrived late. 

Newsday: "Young and Pete Alonso both hit two-run homers in the four-run first, and Tylor Megill was unsteady but adequate against an offense with the second-lowest batting average in baseball. And all of that was good enough to withstand a two-run White Sox rally in the seventh to draw within 1. The Mets scored an insurance run on Franciso Lindor’s RBI single in the eighth."

New York Mets purchased James Loney from the San Diego Padres on May 28, 2016.

National Pastime.com: 

1969	The day after he becomes a father, Randy Hundley hits a grand slam and a double, driving in five runs in Chicago's 9-8 victory over the Giants at Candlestick Park. The eight-pound, four-ounce baby boy named Todd will follow in his dad's footsteps, becoming a major league catcher, receiving for the Mets, Dodgers, and the Cubs.
1969	In a game that features Jerry Koosman striking out 15 batters to set a franchise mark, Bud Harrelson's 11th-inning single plates Cleon Jones to give Tug McGraw and the Mets a 1-0 triumph over the Padres at Shea Stadium. The contest marks the first victory of the team's record 11-game winning streak, which includes three walk-off wins.

1989

With runners on second and third, no outs, and the Mets and Dodgers tied at 3-3 in the 12th inning, home plate umpire Bob Davidson calls a balk against Roger McDowell which scores the winning run in the Chavez Ravine contest. Dave Anderson is waved home when the New York reliever fails to pause and make a discernible stop.

Baseball Reference:

2008 - In a rare big-name match-up in A ball, the Vero Beach Devil Rays beat the St. Lucie Mets, 2 - 0. Pedro Martinez, a three-time Cy Young Award winner on a rehab start, allows two runs in six innings to take the loss. The win goes to David Price, the top pick of the 2008 amateur draft, making his second pro start. Price allows two hits and no walks in six shutout frames, fanning nine. Martinez says: "He's amazing, that kid." 

2010: Corey Hart hits a two-run homer in the bottom of the 9th inning to give the Milwaukee Brewers a 2 - 0 win over the New York Mets at Miller Park. The homer ends a string of 35 consecutive scoreless innings by Mets pitching.

2013:The Mets honor Yankees great Mariano Rivera, who has announced his retirement at the end of the year, by having him throw the ceremonial first pitch before the game between the two teams from the Big Apple at Citi Field, with retired Mets closer John Franco acting as his catcher for the occasion. However, the night doesn't end so well for Mo, as Daniel Murphy leads off the bottom of the 9th with a double and David Wright and Lucas Duda follow RBI singles to turn a 1 - 0 deficit into a 2 - 1 win. It is the first time of Mariano's illustrious career that he blows a save without retiring a single batter; it is also his first blown save of the year. (Box Score).

2016 In the 3rd inning of a game against the Dodgers, Mets P Noah Syndergaard is ejected for throwing at Chase Utley, in apparent retaliation for Utley's aggressive slide which injured Mets SS Ruben Tejada in last year's NLDS. Umpire Adam Hamari also tosses Mets manager Terry Collins for arguing his decision, then Utley gets his revenge when he opens the score with a solo homer off Logan Verrett in the 6th and adds a grand slam off Hansel Robles in the 7th. The Dodgers hit five homers in total as they win the game, 9 - 1.

Amazing Avenue: This Date In Mets History: May 28, 2006 — El Duque wins in his debut with Amazins. Orlando Hernandez joined the rotation on this date in 2006 and Jose Valentin took over as everyday second-baseman.
