Brian Joura Mets 360: "Sean Manaea started and didn’t have it. He threw too many pitches over the heart of the plate and the Marlins, not necessarily known as a good-hitting team, took full advantage. Manaea gave up two runs in both the second and third innings and when the Mets came back with a two-spot, he gave up another run to slow the momentum." 

NY Post: Jeff McNeil’s two-homer breakout not enough to save Mets in loss to Marlins. "Jeff McNeil’s two-homer breakout not enough to save Mets in loss to Marlins" 

Tim Healey Newsday: In Mets' loss to Marlins, Jeff McNeil shows signs of life at the plate.  "The Mets blew a primo scoring chance in the eighth inning, when they had runners on second and third with one out in a 5-4 game. Harrison Bader’s grounder to shortstop led to Jose Iglesias getting tagged out at the plate. Francisco Lindor popped out against freshly inserted closer Tanner Scott, who recorded a four-out save."

Year: 2023; Game # 95; Wednesday, Jul 19; NYM 5 Vs. CHW;1; boxscore;  WP: Verlander;  LP: Toussaint;   Time: 2:06; NIGHT; Attendance: 34,873; Record: 45-50; Standings: 4; Games up/behind: 16.5; W 

Brandon Nimmo CF: 1 for 4; 2B; 1 RBI; Tommy Pham LF: 0 for 2; 2 walks; Francisco Lindor SS: 0 for 3; 1 walk; 1 K; Pete Alonso 1B: 0 for 3; 1 run; 1 walk; Jeff McNeil RF: 0 for 3; HBP; 1 run; Francisco Alvarez C: 2 for 4; 1 run; 1 RBI; 1 K; Daniel Vogelbach DH: 1 for 3; GDP; 1 walk; Brett Baty 3B: 1 for 3; HR; 2 runs; 2 RBIs; Luis Guillorme 2B: 0 for 2; SF; 1 RBI; 1 K; Justin Verlander, W (4-5): 8 innings; 1 run; 1 ER; 3 hits; 1 HR; 1 walk; 7 Ks; Adam Ottavino: 1 inning; no runs; 

NY Post: Justin Verlander looks like $43 million ace as Mets top White Sox for third straight win. “Justin Verlander was as sharp as he has been all season and the Mets used a four-run fourth inning to win their third straight game…Francisco Alvarez, who homered twice on Tuesday, drove in Pete Alonso with a single through the right side of the infield in the fourth…Daniel Vogelbach walked to load the bases for Baty, whose groundout scored McNeil before Luis Guillorme’s sacrifice fly made it 4-0. Brandon Nimmo, hitless in his previous 11 at-bats, then drilled a double that scored Baty from first to make it a four-run inning.”

Mets.com: Masters of chaos, gritty Mets never 'flinched'. The Mets lost three leads but erased multiple deficits en route to one of their wildest, wackiest wins of the season: a 15-11, 11-inning victory over the Reds at Great American Ball Park. In a game that featured seven Mets homers, multiple blown saves and nearly five hours of baseball, New York finally sealed things with a five-run rally in the 11th. 

Mets.com: Stat of Day: Back-to-back into record books. “The Mets on Monday became the second team in AL/NL history to hit back-to-back homers in both the first inning and extra innings of the same game, joining the 1950 Pirates in accomplishing that feat. Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil went back-to-back in the first inning of New York's 15-11 win over the Reds, before Kevin Pillar and Michael Conforto did the same in the 11th.”

Baseball Reference: The Mets strand 25 base-runners but manage to defeat the Cardinals, 3 - 1, in 18 innings. Ruben Tejada drives in the winning run with a sacrifice fly and Eric Campbell follows with a successful squeeze bunt as the Mets go 1-for-26 with runners in scoring position. Starter Carlos Martinez is pressed into service for the Cards and takes the loss, pitching 4 innings. The game is scoreless for 12 innings, until Kevin Plawecki drives in a run for the Mets in the 13th, but Kolten Wong replies with a solo homer. 

NY Post: Mets eke few runs across to survive agonizingmarathon. “A blind squirrel will find acorns — eventually. In the Mets’ case it took until the 13th inning Sunday to find their first run, and victory couldn’t be claimed until the 18th. But after such an atrocious afternoon and early evening offensively, the Mets were in no position to complain.”

Chris Woodward's 2-run homer gives the Mets a Walk-Off win in the 11th.  

NY Post: “For the first time since 1993, Mike Piazza batted sixth last night. Willie Randolph insisted it wasn’t a big story.  If nothing else, Piazza was part of the 11th-inning story, singling off lefty San Diego’s Chris Hammond before teammate Chris Woodward smashed the first pinch-hit homer of his career.  Woodward’s 395-foot blast into the bleachers also scored pinch-runner Gerald Williams and sealed a 3-1 victory over the Padres.”
