NY Post: Francisco Lindor, Jeff McNeil’s homers fuel win over Marlins as Mets escape with series split. "On Monday night, the duo combined for three homers and five RBIs to help the Mets escape South Florida with a four-game series split with a 6-4 victory over the Marlins at loanDepot park." 


Brian Joura Mets360: "Once again, David Peterson was the beneficiary of the Mets scoring runs early and often. He allowed 11 baserunners in 5 IP yet danced around to only allow 2 ER. He got the win and upped his mark to 5-0." 


NY Post: Edwin Diaz works out of jam to close out Mets' win. 'Didn't feel nerves' "With the bases loaded Diaz got Josh Bell to hit a grounder on which Jeff McNeil considered throwing to second to start a potential game-ending double play but instead went the safe route and got the out at first with the run scoring. Diaz then retired Jake Burger to end the game with runners on second and third."




Year: 2023; Game # 98; Saturday, Jul 22; NYM 6 @ BOS 8; boxscore;  WP: Paxton;  LP: Scherzer;  Save: Jansen; Time: 2:39; NIGHT; Attendance: 36,505; Record: 46-52; Standings: 4; Games up/behind: 17.5; L  


Brandon Nimmo CF: 0 for 4; 2 Ks; Mark Canha RF: 0 for 4; 1 K; Francisco Lindor SS: 1 for 4; 1 run; 1 K; Pete Alonso 1B: 2 for 4; 3B,2B; 2 runs; 1 K; Francisco Alvarez C: 1 for 4; 1 run; 1 RBI; 3 Ks; Jeff McNeil 2B: 1 for 4; 1 run; 2 RBIs; Mark Vientos DH: 2 for 4; 1 run; 1 RBI; Brett Baty 3B: 1 for 4; 1 RBI; DJ Stewart LF: 0 for 2; 1 walk; 1 K; Daniel Vogelbach PH: 0 for 1; Max Scherzer, L (8-4): 6 innings; 5 runs; 5 ERs; 6 hits; 4 HRs; 2 walks; 7 Ks; Trevor Gott: 0.1 inning; 3 runs; 3 ERs; 2 hits; 1 HR; 1 walk; 1 K; Josh Walker: 0.2 inning; no runs; 1 hit; 1 K; Drew Smith: 1 inning; no runs; 1 hit; 


NY Post: Mets’ rally falls short as Max Scherzer disappointsagain in loss to Red Sox. “Scherzer matched a career high with four homers allowed, sending the Mets to an 8-6 loss to the Red Sox, their second defeat in three games…Jeff McNeil’s Little League homer in the fourth inning temporarily tilted the momentum in the Mets’ favor. McNeil singled to score Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso. After Duran threw home and McNeil advanced to second, catcher Jorge Alfaro’s throw sailed past the base — and beyond Duran in center field. That allowed McNeil to advance the final 180 feet.”




Year: 2022; Game#94; Friday  Jul 22 NYM 1 Vs. SDP 4; boxscore;  WP: Darvish; LP: Scherzer;  Save: Rogers; Time: 3:01; NIGHT; Attendance: 36,855;  Record: 58-36; Standings: 1; Games up/behind: up 1.5; L;  


NY Post: Mets’ offense dominated by Yu Darvish inseries-opening loss to Padres. “The Mets never hit against Yu Darvish, and they had no chance in their latest encounter. The Padres right-hander was dominant, tossing seven innings of one-run ball to best Scherzer and send the Mets to their second straight loss, 4-1, in front of 36,855 at Citi Field.”


From the Padres 4 Mets 1 - Post Game Notes

Starling Marte (2-4): Tallied his 29th multi-hit game of the season, tied for seventh in the National League. 


Max Scherzer (6.0 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, BB, 8 K): Passed Curt Schilling (3,116) and Bob Gibson (3,117) for 15th on MLB's all-time strikeout list...Is three strikeouts shy of Justin Verlander (3,121) for the most by an active pitcher. Marked his first loss at Citi Field since 5/17/16, ending a streak of 11 straight winning decisions at the park.

Mike Puma NY Post: Soul-crushing loss will come back tohaunt the Mets. “Bobby Parnell, who had been so effective since his return from Tommy John surgery in early June, surrendered successive two-out hits in the eighth inning that scored three runs, and the Mets lost 4-3 at Nationals Park to fall three games behind Washington in the NL East…The right-hander walked Ian Desmond with one out and Matt den Dekker singled. Parnell then recorded the second out, before uncorking a wild pitch that moved the runners to second and third. Michael A. Taylor followed with a two-run single and Danny Espinosa’s RBI double put the Nationals ahead.”

One of the greatest games in one of their greatest years - 


Baseball ReferenceThe Mets win a crazy five-hour marathon with the Reds in 14 innings, 6 - 3. Setting the tone, Darryl Strawberry is ejected after arguing a called third strike in the 5th. In the 9th, Howard Johnson inadvertently kicks the ball after Reds C Bo Diaz drops a third strike. Johnson runs out of the baseline and is hit in the back with the throw from pitcher Ron Robinson. Reds coach Billy DeMars is ejected for arguing the safe call. The Mets, down 3 - 1 with two out, tie the game when Dave Parker drops a routine fly ball. In the 10th, Davey Johnson sends in pitcher Rick Aguilera to hit for pitcher Doug Sisk. Aguilera walks, but is stranded. In the Reds' 10th, pinch-runner Eric Davis steals second and third base, bumping into Ray Knight. Knight decks Davis and both benches empty. Knight, Davis, Kevin Mitchell and Mario Soto are ejected. Gary Carter moves to 3B, Roger McDowell comes in to pitch, and Jesse Orosco moves from the mound to RF. With two out and a runner on second base in the 11th, Orosco returns to pitch, McDowell moves to LF, and Mookie Wilson shifts to right. Reds player-manager Pete Rose protests when Orosco is permitted eight warm-up pitches. Orosco whiffs Max Venable to end the inning. In the 12th, the Mets are forced to lead off the inning with Orosco and McDowell, and go down in order. McDowell returns to pitch in the 13th and gets Tony Perez to fly to Orosco in right. Howard Johnson belts a three-run homer in the 14th and McDowell retires the side in order to end the game.
