Abbey Mastracco New York Daily News: "The Mets (54-41) haven’t made things easy on themselves offensively over the last few weeks, and one day after being swept in a doubleheader in Baltimore, the Royals (46-49) kept the Mets to only one run over the first seven innings — a bases-loaded walk drawn by Pete Alonso in the top of the third."

Laura Albanese Newsday: "The Mets were trailing 3-1 in the eighth when Royals reliever Steven Cruz loaded the bases with none out, allowing a single by Brandon Nimmo and back-to-back walks to Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto...closer Carlos Estevez struck out Pete Alonso swinging to bring up Vientos...Vientos, who was batting .119 in his previous 13 games, muscled Estevez’s 2-and-2 slider off the end of the bat the other way for a three-run double that gave the Mets a 4-3 lead.

Mike Puma NY Post: "The Mets widened the gulf in the ninth on Francisco Lindor’s three-run homer. Juan Soto followed with his 22nd homer of the season."

AP News: "Kodai Senga returned from the injured list to make his first start in since leaving a June 12 start with a right hamstring strain. Working on a pitch limit, Senga threw four scoreless innings, allowing four hits and two walks, striking out four."

Transactions:
New York Mets sold Don Cardwell to the Atlanta Braves on July 12, 1970.

New York Mets signed free agent Marlon Anderson of the Los Angeles Dodgers on July 12, 2007.

New York Mets traded Francisco Rodriguez to the Milwaukee Brewers for Danny Herrera and Adrian Rosario on July 12, 2011.

National Pastime.com: 

2011	A half-hour after the Midsummer Classic is completed, the Mets send former All-Star reliever Francisco Rodriguez and cash to the Brewers for two players to be named later. K-Rod, an outstanding closer for the Mets and Angels, will be used primarily as a set-up man for Milwaukee's John Axford.

Baseball Reference:

1977: Steve Henderson hits a game-winning home run off Bruce Sutter to give the Mets a 4 - 2 victory over the Cubs. After the game the Cubs relief ace admits his arm is bothering him, and asks to be excused from the All-Star Game. Bleeding will be found in Sutter's arm and he will get the week off after the All-Star break to rest it.

2015:  Kirk 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.
