Brain Joura Mets360.com: "The Mets went 1-13 with RISP and carrying multiple lefty relievers that the manager has zero faith in led to using 36-year-old Adam Ottavino in back-to-back games, with Ottavino surrendering a walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth, sending the Marlins to a 3-2 win Sunday afternoon in Miami." 


NY Post: "David Peterson provided his team with a second strong start against the Marlins in less than a week. The left-hander, who is awaiting paternity leave for the birth of a son, pitched seven innings and allowed two earned runs on four hits with eight strikeouts and lowered his ERA to 3.10." 


Newsday Mets beaten on Nick Fortes' walk off homer for Marlins; "In the ninth inning, when J.D. Davis walked and advanced to second on a wild pitch, the Marlins’ Tanner Scott retired the next three batters. Eduardo Escobar (.663 OPS) struck out swinging. Luis Guillorme (0-for-12 in the series) grounded out. James McCann (.516 OPS) struck out swinging."

SNY.TV: Resilient Mets once again find a way in walk-off win over Phillies: 'We never feel like we’re out of games' Mets trailed Saturday's game three different times before walking off victorious. 


NY Post: Mets rally for walk-off win over Phillies to pick up Jacob deGrom.  “After the Mets were gifted a fielding error and another meltdown by a Phillies reliever in the ninth inning, Michael Conforto hit a bases-loaded sacrifice fly for the 4-3 win at Citi Field, sending the season-high crowd of 29,205 into a frenzy.” 


Mets.com: Stat of the Day: “The Phillies snapped Jacob deGrom's scoreless streak at 31 innings, tied for third-longest in franchise history. R.A. Dickey holds the Mets record with 32 2/3 straight scoreless innings in 2012, followed by Jerry Koosman with 31 2/3 scoreless in 1973. Four Mets pitchers have thrown 31 shutout innings in a row, including deGrom, who's done it twice. The others: Tom Seaver, Dwight Gooden and Bartolo Colon.”

Mike Puma NY Post: Brilliant Syndergaard makes Mets’ two hits hold up in win. "Granderson’s homer leading off the bottom of the first and Dilson Herrera’s fifth-inning triple were the Mets’ only hits on a night Syndergaard seized control and didn’t let go until Jeurys Familia took the ball for a perfect ninth...Lucas Duda’s walk with the bases loaded gave the Mets the 2-1 lead in the fifth against Cueto, but a chance to break open the game was missed when the ensuing batter, Michael Cuddyer, lined out to center field to end the inning."
