From the Mets 7 Rockies 6 Post Game Notes - 7/12/2024:

Mark Vientos: 

  • Hit a solo home run in the second inning to cut the deficit to 2-1.

Harrison Bader: 

  • Launched a solo home run to left center field in the second inning to put the Mets in front 3-2.

Jose Iglesias: 

  • Went back-to-back with Vientos in the second inning to tie the game up at 2-2...Pulled a solo shot in the fifth to extend the lead to 7-2.

Brian Joura Mets360: "The Mets hit five home runs and their starting pitcher gave seven innings. Easy win, right? Well, actually, no. The Rockies had the tying and go-ahead runs on in the ninth inning. But all’s well that ends well and the Mets hung on for a 7-6 win Friday night at Citi Field. The Mets are now three games over .500 and are 8-4 in the month of July." 

NY Post: Mets bash five home runs, avoid late collapse in raucous win over Rockies. "Jake Diekman and newcomer Phil Maton combined to allow three runs and two homers in the eighth, but Edwin Diaz worked a scoreless ninth for his 10th save after walking two with two outs.  Of the 13 runs the Mets have allowed on this homestand, eight have been given up by the beleaguered bullpen in just 10 ²/₃ innings of work. Carlos Mendoza was ejected for the first time as Mets manager in the seventh inning arguing balls and strikes, but his team finished off the win without him."

Baseball ReferenceKirk Nieuwenhuis hits three home runs to lead the Mets to a 5 - 3 win over the Diamondbacks; Nieuwenhuis is the 10th player to have a three-homer game for the Mets, but the first ever to do so at home


NY Post: Kirk Nieuwenhuis slams into Mets history with 3-homer outburst. “Hitting a blistering .079 in mid-May, Kirk Nieuwenhuis was designated for assignment by the Mets, then sent across the continent to the Angels for cash. Pretty much after introducing himself to his Angels teammates, he was DFA’d again, then reclaimed off waivers by the Mets…'It’s been a wild ride for sure, and today was a lot of fun. It’s definitely been a journey, though,' said Nieuwenhuis, who was sent to Triple-A Las Vegas after the Mets reclaimed him before he was recalled July 6.”

NY Post Met Rally just a tease: Too little too late leaves 'em 13 1/2 back: "Despite a three-run ninth inning on Fireworks Night, and six scores in the final three frames, the Mets fell short in a crushing 9-8 loss to Philadelphia. Most of the tantalized but ultimately disappointed 49,424 fans at Shea stayed for the postgame show, but the Mets were long gone down the Grand Central knowing they’d blown a chance to build momentum...D’Amico lost his vaunted curveball and lost the game, giving up eight hits and five earned runs in five innings to fall to 4-8."
