Mike Puma NY Post: Mets end impressive first half on low note with loss to Cubs. "Drew Smith surrendered two runs in the eighth inning and the Mets’ bats never responded on a dreary afternoon in a 3-2 loss to the Cubs at Wrigley Field...David Peterson, in possibly his last turn in the rotation before Jacob deGrom returns to claim his spot, allowed only an unearned run on three hits and three walks with eight strikeouts over five innings...Pete Alonso’s bloop RBI single in the fifth gave the Mets a 2-1 lead. Brandon Nimmo walked and Marte singled to begin the rally."

NY Post: Edwin Diaz implodes in ninth as Mets fall to lowly Pirates. "This one ended with Kevin Pillar lunging into the left-field stands desperately trying to retrieve Jacob Stallings’ descending fly ball, but to no avail. Stallings’ walk-off grand slam sent the Mets to a stunning 9-7 loss to the Pirates at PNC Park...The Mets, who led 6-0 in the eighth inning largely on the strength of a pair of two-run home runs by J.D. Davis, lost their third straight and fell to 2-4 against the last-place Pirates."

Baseball Reference:  In another excellent pitching performance, Jacob deGrom tosses a one-hitter as the Mets defeat the Phillies, 5 - 0. Only a 3rd-inning single by P Zach Eflin keeps deGrom from making history.

7/17/16: deGrom's one-hit shutout leads Mets to win.

Mike Puma NY Post: Mets wake up too late, waste Syndergaard gem in sorry loss. “With their lineup flatter than Budweiser left open on the counter for a week, the Mets lost 3-2, to the Cardinals at Busch Stadium and had their four-game winning streak snapped.  The Mets, who hit nine homers in their three-game sweep of the Diamondbacks last weekend at Citi Field, received a blast from Curtis Granderson leading off the game. Their offense then disappeared until the ninth inning, when they scored once and put the tying and go-ahead runs at third and first base, respectively.”

Ruben Tejada hit a weak ground ball up the middle that STL Pitcher Trevor Rosenthal and SS Johnny Peralta couldn't handle to score Duda and put runners on 1st and 3rd with two outs but pinch hitter John Mayberry K's to end it.
