Year: 2024; Game #60; Monday, Jun 3; NYM 8 @ WSN 7; boxscore; WP: Megill; LP: Gore; Save: Diekman; Time: 3:18; Night; Attendance: 20,575; Record: 25-35; Standings: 4; Games up/behind: 16.5;W



AP Sports: Mets get offense from Vientos, Marte and Iglesias before maligned bullpen holds off Nationals 8-7. "Jose Iglesias had three hits, including a go-ahead single in the fifth inning, and Mark Vientos homered as the New York Mets held off the Washington Nationals 8-7 on Monday night.  New York’s beleaguered bullpen nearly coughed up another late lead. Washington scored two runs in the ninth charged to Adam Ottavino, but Jake Diekman threw a called third strike past Drew Millas with runners at the corners for his second save. The scuffling Mets have lost six games since May 1 when leading after eight innings. Diekman held on this time, one day after blowing a save in a 5-4 loss to Arizona at home"

Yahoo Spots: Mets takeaways from Saturday's 2-1 loss to Blue Jays. including offense going 0-for-11 with RISP 


From the Blue Jays 2 Mets 1 - Post Game Notes 6/3/2023:

  • Mets: Fell to 1-2 when tied after eight innings...Are 11-9 in one-run games this season.
  • Tylor Megill (5.1 IP, 5 H, ER, 5 BB, 5 K): Has a 2.25 ERA (7 ER/28.0 IP) in six career Interleague games (five starts), including a 1.85 ERA (5 ER/24.1 IP) in four career starts against AL East opponents.
  • Daniel Vogelbach (1-4, 2B, RBI): Put the Mets on the board with an RBI double in the second...Was his first extra-base hit and RBI since homering on May 7 vs. Colorado.



Year: 2022; Game#54; Friday  Jun 3 NYM 1 @ LAD 6; boxscore;  WP: Anderson; LP: Bassitt;  Save: Hudson; Time: 2:55; NIGHT; Attendance: 52,505;  Record: 35-19; Standings: 1; Games up/behind: up 8.5; L;


Metsradamus: They Left Their Bats At LAX. "The Mets were not going to come in and do to the Dodgers what they did to the Washington Nationals. I think most of us who identify as sane would tell you that. But to go from as hot as they did to as cold as they did is quite concerning. They were done in by Tony Gonsolin last night, and Tyler Anderson tonight on the strength of six shutout innings as the Mets fell 6-1 to the Dodgers on Friday." 


Brian Joura Mets360: Gut Reaction: Dodgers 6, Mets 1. "Chris Bassitt had traffic on the bases nearly every inning and gave up two, 2-run homers. And they put up two more runs in two innings against the Mets’ pen." 


NY Post: Mets offense falls flat again in another loss to Dodgers.  "A night after getting shut out for the first time this season the Mets managed only a Pete Alonso solo homer Friday in a 6-1 loss to the Dodgers before 52,505 at Chavez Ravine. The Mets lost a second straight game for only the third time this season."





Year: 2021; Game#50; Thursday  Jun 3 NYM 3 @ SDP 4; boxscore;  WP: Darvish; LP: Walker;  Save: Melancon; Time: 3:35; NIGHT; Attendance: 15,250;  Record: 28-22; Standings: 1; Games up/behind: up 4.0; L; 


Padres 4 Mets 3 (boxscore) Francisco Lindor SS 1 for 3, 2 runs scored, 1 walk, 1 K; James McCann C 1 for 4, HR, 2 RBIs, 1 run scored, 2 Ks;  Billy McKinney RF 1 for 3, triple, 1 walk, 1 K; Taijuan Walker (L,4-2) 5 innings, 4 runs - 3 earned, 7 hits, 1 HR, 4 walks, 2 Ks;


SNY.TV: Mets takeaways from Thursday's 4-3 loss to Padres, including Taijuan Walker's shaky command. “After Taijuan Walker and Yu Darvish traded a pair of scoreless innings, the Padres struck first on a Fernando Tatis Jr. two-run homer in the bottom of the third. Tatis skied a ball to center field, and Mason Williams looked like he had a play, but the ball went in and out of his glove and bounced over the wall for a home run, giving San Diego a 2-0 lead.”







Year: 2018; Game #57; Sunday;  Jun 3, NYM 0  Vs. CHC; 2; boxscore;  WP: Lester; LP: Matz;  Save: Duensing; Time: 02:30; DAY; Attendance: 34,946; Record: 27-30; Standings: 4; Games up/behind: 7; L;

NY Post: Wilmer Flores’ big homer and bullpen’s guts fuel Mets. "Wilmer Flores — who played again in place of the benched Jose Reyes — Jay Bruce and Neil Walker each homered off Tyler Glasnow, helping to make a winner out of Robert Gsellman (4-3, 5.53 ERA) in his second-to-last start before going to the bullpen. Gsellman turned in his third consecutive solid start after he was skipped in the rotation, pitching 5 ¹/₃ innings of two-run ball to pick up his second straight victory. But it was the bullpen that did the heavy lifting, recording 11 outs."

Mike Puma NY Post: How playing new position finally caught up with Mets’ Tejada. "Tejada, who made his sixth straight start at third base, committed two errors that contributed to the Mets’ ugly performance in a 7-3 loss to the Padres. In the first inning, Tejada booted Derek Norris’ grounder, leading to two unearned runs. In the third, Tejada made a wild throw to first base that allowed Norris to reach. Gee (0-3) struggled, allowing seven runs in four-plus innings.


ESPN.com: Padres capitalize on Mets' defensive miscues to support James Shields. "James Shields (7-0) cruised through five innings, permitting just one runner to reach second base. The right-hander allowed two runs and six hits overall. He struck out four, walked two and used three double plays to avoid major damage...The Mets were hurt by three errors -- two by fill-in third baseman Ruben Tejada -- that led to three unearned runs. Winless starter Dillon Gee, just off the disabled list, also hit a batter with a pitch with the bases loaded...After trailing 7-0, the Mets brought the potential tying run to the plate in the ninth. But slugger Lucas Duda grounded out with the bases loaded against Craig Kimbrel to end it."


For Gee, the loss is his last decision he gets a Met.  He still throws two more games in his Mets career but both are no decisions.

National Pastime.com: In a pregame ceremony at Citi Field, John Franco becomes the 26th member of the Mets Hall of Fame. The former southpaw reliever, who also played for Cincinnati and Houston, leads all lefties in all-time saves with 424, which includes 276 for the Mets, a franchise record.


Baseball Reference: The Mets complete a three-game sweep of the Cardinals with a 6 - 1 win to reach a virtual tie for first place in the NL East. Jon Niese strikes out a career-high 10 batters in 6 innings before leaving because of an accelerated heart beat. Kirk Nieuwenhuis hits a homer and drives in 3 runs. The Cards lost the first two games of the series by shutout, including Johan Santana's no-hitter on June 1st, and finally end their 26-inning scoring drought in the 8th, on an RBI single by Adron Chambers.

NY Post: Brave HRs ruin Steve and Mets. "Trachsel’s first pitch to Castilla with the bases loaded and two outs in the first inning didn’t land foul 10 rows into the seats like the Met righty thought it would. Instead, it improbably clanged off the right-field foul pole a few feet above the fence for a grand slam, giving Atlanta an early 4-0 lead that the anemic Mets could only catch up to but not overcome."

A Frank Thomas RBI single gave the Mets a 1-0 first inning lead against Juan Marichal (W,8-3) but that was all the runs the Mets would get as they fell to 12 and 34 and the Giants swept a 4 game series in their old home the Polo Grounds.  Willie Mays hit his 19th HR to tie the game at 1 in the 6th and the Giants scored 5 more in the 7th for the win.
