Anthony DiComo Mets com: "On Sunday, Ronny Mauricio hit a game-tying homer, Francisco Alvarez scored two runs, and Juan Soto hit a go-ahead solo shot at Oracle Park to cap the win."


Mike Puma NY Post: "Kodai Senga, in his third start off the injured list, extended to 92 pitches, which took him through five innings. The right-hander allowed three earned runs on four hits and five walks with three strikeouts as his ERA increased to 2.00. Senga indicated he was largely pleased with his outing, but the walks were an issue." 


Laura Albanese Newsday: "Five Mets relievers combined to pitch four scoreless innings, and the bullpen didn’t allow a run in 11 innings in the series. Gregory Soto, activated Sunday after being acquired from the Orioles in a late-night trade Thursday, pitched a perfect seventh in his Mets debut." 


Abby Mastracco NY Daily News: "Closer Edwin Diaz navigated an eventful ninth inning, working out of a bases-loaded jam with only one out by striking out Adames and Chapman to pick up his 23rd save of the season and his second in as many nights."

Tim Healey Newsday: Tylor Megill gives up three home runs, Mets get only four hits in loss to Atlanta. 


NY Post: Mets’ bats go cold against Braves rookie as win streak ends at five. "The Mets were overmatched against Atlanta rookie right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach, who struck out 11 and gave up just two hits in seven scoreless innings. The loss ended the Mets’ five-game winning streak and knocked them from the top of the NL wild-card race just a day after they bumped the Braves into second."


Brian Joura Mets360: "Megill retired the first 10 batters he faced but then was done in by the gopher ball. He gave up back-to-back homers in the fourth inning, a scratch run in the fifth and a leadoff home run in the seventh. He fell to 2-5 on the year and saw his ERA go up to 5.20 for the season."

NY Post: Mets, Jerad Eickhoff pounded by rival Braves. “Jerad Eickhoff, who last week was designated for assignment by the Mets for the second time this season, re-signed with the team on Tuesday and served as a punching bag for 3 ¹/₃ innings. With the Mets in need of fresh arms, Eickhoff recorded only 10 outs while getting shelled for 10 runs by the Braves in a 12-5 loss at Citi Field.”




Year: 2020; Game #4; Monday;  Jul 27, NYM 7 @ BOS; 4; boxscore;   WP: Wacha;  LP: Osich;  Save: Lugo; Time: 3:11; NIGHT;  Record: 2-2; Standings: 2; Games up/behind: 0.5; W;  


Mets 7 Red Sox 4. Michael Wacha (W,1-0) 5 innings, 5 Hits, 1 HR, 1 run, 1 Earned Run, 1 walks, 4 Ks;  Chasen Shreve 2 innings, 1 Hits, 1 HR, 1 run, 1 Earned Run, 0 walks, 0 Ks;  Jeurys Familia 2/3 inning, 2 Hits, 2 runs, 2 Earned Runs, 1 walks, 0 Ks;  Seth Lugo (S,1) 1.1 innings, 0 Hits, 0 runs, 0 walks, 1 K;  Michael Conforto 2 run HR, 1 for 4, 2 RBIs, 3 Ks; Pete Alonso, 2 run HR, 1 for 5, 2 RBIs, 2Ks; Dominic Smith, 3 run HR, 1 for 4, 3 RBIs, 1K. Amed Rosario, Wilson Ramos, and Jeff McNeil each with two hits.  


Pete Alonso, Dom Smith and Michael Conforto all homer as the Mets beat the Red Sox 7-4.


SNY.TV: Michael Wacha solid in Mets debut, slows Red Sox bats over five innings. Wacha's changeup and cutter were on point in his 77-pitch outing.  


NY Post: Michael Wacha superb in his Mets debut.  


Brian Joura Mets360.com: Robinson Cano took the collar and is now 1-12 on the season. It’s nice that he’s not batting third and it’s good to see him being removed for defensive purposes. Now there’s only one move left to make. Hopefully J.D. Davis is still taking grounders at third base.  


Metstradamus: A Nice Beantown Surprise. “But Michael Wacha was a nice surprise. One run in five innings with four strikeouts doesn’t sound all that spectacular, but for what was expected of Wacha, and for what happened yesterday [Sunday], it’s a very important outing. Add to that how good his changeup looked, and it’s something to get a little bit excited about.”  


Greg Prince Faith and Fear in Flushing Outta Where? “Not bad for late July, eh? Except for fabled Fenway being bereft of spectators...The sight of those empty red seats behind home plate was shocking. Preferable to cardboard cutout characters from Cheers...” 


NY Post: Mets doing everything to avoid Marlins-like coronavirus outbreak. 


Mike’s Mets: Risky Business – “The Mets gave their offense the whole weekend off. They blew a game they should have won, and then barely showed up for the rubber game of the series. If that wasn't enough, now the season itself is in jeopardy thanks to the COVID-19 outbreak that hit the Marlins. Suddenly the Mets performing so poorly was only the second-biggest bummer of the weekend for me.”

Yoenis Cespedes' 2-run homer in the 7th put the Mets up 4-3 but Jeurys Familia blew his first game after 52 regular season saves as the Cards beat the Mets 5-4.  


NY Post: "[Yadir] Molina’s RBI double to center with one out in the top of the ninth scored pinch-runner Randal Grichuk from first and made it 4-4, wiping out the heroics of Cespedes...Then, after Jeremy Hazelbaker reached on a fielder’s choice, pinch-hitter Kolten Wong doubled to left to put the Cardinals in front."


The Mets went down 1-2-3 in the bottom of the 9th to seal the loss.

Baseball Reference: The Pirates defeat the Mets, 5 - 1, in one of Major League Baseball's "Turn Ahead the Clock Nights." Each team wears futuristic uniforms, with the home town squad becoming the "Mercury" Mets for the night. The futuristic theme is carried out throughout the evening, with the scoreboard flashing computerized photos of the players as each comes to the plate. Rickey Henderson, for example, is given three eyes and pointy ears, and plays "left quadrant." Al Martin hits the first of his two home runs in the 1st "sector," and rookie Kris Benson goes the distance for the win.
