NY Post: Mets’ rally not enough as loss to Royals dampens Sean Manaea’s return before All-Star break. “The Mets, after slumbering for eight innings, rallied to tie it 2-2 in the ninth. Jeff McNeil smashed a pinch-hit triple for the first run and after Brett Baty was retired on an infield grounder, scored on Jared Young’s sacrifice fly. Ronny Mauricio began the game-tying rally against Carlos Estévez with a leadoff double.” 


Abbey Mastracco NY Daily News: "In the bottom of the ninth, left-hander Sean Manaea, making his season debut, gave up a one-out single to Tyler Tolbert, who then swiped second base. Nick Loftin drove a 1-2 slider from Manaea to left field and the throw home didn’t come with enough time to get Tolbert at the plate." 


Laura Albanese Newsday: "Manaea, making his season debut after being sidelined with an oblique injury and the later discovery of loose bodies in his elbow, showcased pinpoint control with his fastball and a wipeout slider that, at one point, allowed him to retire five straight Royals via strikeout."

1964

The Cubs overcome making five errors in the top of the third inning and beat the Mets, 4-2. The Chicago miscues, that include shortstop Andre Rodgers and catcher Dick Bertell each committing two and first baseman Ernie Banks contributing to the total by dropping a pop fly, account for all of New York's scoring in the Wrigley Field contest.

1969

At Wrigley Field, Bill Hands and the Cubs edge Tom Seaver and the Mets, 1-0. After the game's last out, Ron Santo jumps up and clicks his heels for the first time, a move the third baseman will repeat each time Chicago wins for the rest of his career.

2001

Bobby Valentine wins his 1,000th career game as a manager when Glendon Rusch and closer Armando Benitez combine to throw a one-hitter in the Mets' 2-0 victory over the Red Sox. Trot Nixon's first-inning bunt single, a result of the New York starter's inability to cover first base, is Boston's only hit in the Shea Stadium contest.

Baseball Reference:

1969At Wrigley Field, the Chicago Cubs top the New York Mets, 1 - 0, to give Bill Hands (11-7) the win over Tom Seaver (14-4). Billy Williams singles home the winner, boosting the Cubs lead to 5 1/2 games. After the last out, Ron Santo jumps up and clicks his heels, igniting a roar from the crowd. The Mets think it's bush.

1972In his first major league game, Dave Schneck hits a 2-run homer off the Padres' Steve Arlin that turns out to be the game winner in the Mets' 3 - 2 win at San Diego Stadium.

1988: Ken Griffey singles for his 2,000th career hit in the Atlanta Braves' 9 - 8 loss to the New York Mets.

1989 - The New York Mets' Sid Fernandez strikes out 16 Atlanta Braves, but the portly Polynesian portsider still loses, 3 - 2, on Lonnie Smith's leadoff home run in the bottom of the 9th.
