From the Mets 9 Yankees 7 Post Game Notes: 


Mark Vientos: (2-4, 2 HR, 2 RBI, 2 R): Launched a home run to deep left field in the second inning to extend the Mets lead to 2-0... Launched a solo homer in the fourth to give the Mets a 4-0 lead...Homered in consecutive games for the second-time in his career...Is the 12th Met to have a multi-homer game against the Yankees...Homered in three straight at-bats dating back to his final at-bat on June 23 at Chicago-NL, tying a franchise record...Is the first player to accomplish the feat since Yoenis Céspedes (8/21/15). 


David Peterson: Recorded a season-high eight strikeouts...Is the first Mets left-handed pitcher since Óliver Pérez (6/29/08) to have eight or more strikeouts against the Yankees...Struck out three straight batters to escape a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the first. 


Harrison Bader: (2-4, HR, RBI, 2 R, SB): Hit a home run to left field in the second inning to give the Mets a 3-0 lead...It was his first at-bat against his former team. 


Brandon Nimmo: (1-4, HR, 3 RBI, 2 R, BB): Roped a two-run home run in the fourth to right field to extend the Mets lead to 6-0, extending his hitting streak to 10 games...It was his 99th career home run. 


NY Post: “The Mets bashed four homers over four innings against the star right-hander Tuesday night and held on late for a 9-7 victory over the Yankees in front of a Citi Field sellout crowd of 42,824…It came on a day Edwin Diaz began serving a 10-game suspension following his ejection Sunday for violating MLB’s foreign substance rule…The Yankees infused drama late, with five runs in the eighth — Aaron Judge’s grand slam sliced the Mets’ lead to 9-7 — before Reed Garrett got the final four outs.”





Year: 2023; Game # 77; Sunday, Jun 25; NYM 6 @ PHI 7; boxscore;  WP: Hoffman;  LP: Brigham;  Save: Kimbrel; Time: 3:16; DAY; Attendance: 42,901; Record: 35-42; Standings: 4; Games up/behind: 15; L

NY Post: Mets bullpen’s epic implosion, Brett Baty error deliver crushing loss to Phillies. "Jeff Brigham faced the difficult task of trying to escape a bases-loaded jam with no outs in the bottom of the eighth after the lefty Walker walked Bryce Harper and Bryson Stott, bookended around J.T. Realmuto’s single...Baty threw low to second base, pulling Jeff McNeil off the bag on Alec Bohm’s grounder, costing the Mets an out as the Phillies scored their first run of the inning."

Mike Puma NY Post: Red-hot Pete Alonso belts two homers as Mets clip Marlins. “Alonso leads the National League with 22 homers and 68 RBIs in a season that won’t reach the midway point until next weekend. His two blasts on this day gave him four, including a grand slam last weekend, over eight games.”


SNY.TV: Mets takeaways from Saturday's 5-3 win over Marlins, including Pete Alonso's two-homer day. “Making his second straight start against the Marlins, Chris Bassitt breezed through his first three innings before allowing a two-run homer to Jesus Sanchez in the fourth (which would have been a three-run shot if not for a great throw from Starling Marte to nab a runner at third.”



SNY on YouTube: Game Highlights:




2021: Mets split a pair of 2-1 games with Phillies.


NY Post: "Dominic Smith delivered a walk-off RBI single in the eighth inning, allowing the Mets to escape Game 1 of a doubleheader with a 2-1 victory over the Phillies at Citi Field. Victory arrived after Aaron Nola struck out 10 straight batters to match a record held alone by Tom Seaver for the last 51 years...David Peterson was sharp in the nightcap — allowing just one run over six innings — but the Mets were again flat offensively in a 2-1 loss, also in eight innings. The doubleheader split was the Mets’ third in the last week..."

NY Post: Mets score two whole runs — and Jacob deGrom does the rest. "DeGrom’s eight shutout innings helped the Mets snap a seven-game losing streak with a 2-0 victory over the Brewers at Miller Park...DeGrom (8-5) surrendered just four hits and his ERA dropped to 2.15. He has allowed two earned runs or fewer in his past eight starts...Jeurys Familia, in his first appearance since experiencing left groin discomfort last week, worked a perfect ninth and earned his 20th save in 22 tries." 


NY Post: Familia calms nerves, picks up first save sincereturn from injury. “In his return to action, the Mets closer pitched a perfect ninth inning for his 20th save in 22 chances in the Mets’ 2-0 victory over the Brewers on Thursday that snapped a seven-game losing streak. Familia had soreness in his left groin last Friday and hadn’t pitched since.”

Baseball Reference: The White Sox hold a 4 - 3 lead over the Mets with two outs in the 9th inning, but manage to blow it in the most embarrassing fashion, after Daniel Murphy hits a routine pop-up in front of the mound. 2B Gordon Beckham comes charging in, trips on P Addison Reed's foot and falls to the ground, in the process bowling over 3B Conor Gillaspie, who is positioned under the ball. The ball drops to the ground and rolls away from Reed while David Wright takes advantage of the confusion to score all the way from second base and tie the game. Luckily, the Sox manage to score a run off LaTroy Hawkins in the bottom of the inning to escape with a 5 - 4 win and save a little face.

"Joe Mather homered and Travis Wood outpitched Johan Santana (L,5-4) leading the Chicago Cubs to a 6-1 victory over the New York Mets on Monday night to snap a four-game skid. Wood (2-3) struck out six and scattered five hits over seven scoreless innings to earn his second straight victory. The Cubs scored four unearned runs in the seventh inning with help from three Mets erorrs, including three-base miscues by third baseman David Wright and right fielder Lucas Duda."

NY Post: Bobby Valentine dismissed last night’s pregame altercation between Roberto Alomar and Roger Cedeno by saying, 'the Latin fluids were going.'  The Met manager used the dugout scuffle between his starting second baseman and left fielder to explain his team’s great start against the Braves, as Alomar homered in the first inning and Cedeno created a run during a three-run second...the Mets built a 7-0, fifth-inning lead and Steve Trachsel (W,6-6) had a perfect game...[Armando Benitez] sweated through 1 2/3 innings, whiffing Gary Sheffield with runners at second and third as the Mets held on to a tenuous 7-4 victory."
