Good Morning. Happy Birthday to Max Kranick and Mike Bordick. Mets beat Reds 3-2 on Soto's legs, Pete Alonso seems to survive injury scare and the Mets to recall Francisco Alvarez.

Mike Puma NY Post: Juan Soto’s gutsy baserunning pays off in huge spot as Mets sneak by Reds to avoid sweep. “The Reds had the infield drawn in with one out and runners on second and third. Soto, running on contact, broke from third base on Luis Torrens’ sharp grounder to second baseman Matt McLain and slid headfirst across the plate just ahead of Tyler Stephenson’s swipe tag for the go-ahead run in a 3-2 victory over the Reds at Citi Field.”
Abbey Mastracco NY Daily News: "A one-run lead is never enough for the Mets’ bullpen, and Edwin Diaz gave up the tying run trying for a four-out save in the top of the eighth inning. But after the Mets took back a one-run lead in the eighth, Ryne Stanek was able to protect it for the save (two), helping secure a 3-2 win to salvage a series against the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday afternoon at Citi Field."
Ben Dickson Newsday: "The Mets (56-44) seemingly survived an injury scare after Pete Alonso did not start Sunday’s game with a right hand contusion. The first baseman, who entered Sunday with a franchise-record streak of 353 consecutive games played, came in as a defensive replacement for Mark Vientos in the seventh to keep that streak alive. Mendoza said Alonso’s injury is “on the base of the thumb area.” X-rays were negative."
Mets 3 Reds 2 Post Game Notes - 7/20/2025
- David Peterson (6.0 IP, 4 H, R, BB, 4 K, HP): Is 5-0 with a 1.91 (13 ER/61.1 IP) ERA over 10 home starts...Ranks third in the majors in home ERA (min. 50.0 IP)...Has not allowed more than three runs in each of his 10 starts at Citi Field this season and has allowed one or zero earned runs in each of his last four starts.
- Luisangel Acuña (1-1, 2B, RBI, BB): Laced an RBI double in the fifth to put the Mets up 2-1...Marked his first extra-base hit since May 2 at St. Louis (77 at-bats) and his first RBI since May 9 vs. Chicago-NL (63 at-bats).
NY Post Sports+: This Mets offense isn’t good enough “Hitting
in the clutch has been a season-long problem. The Mets rank 28th in baseball in
batting average with runners in scoring position (.230). Their .726 OPS in such
situations ranks 18th. Overall, they are 16th in runs scored (435). Lately,
though, they have really struggled. Since June 13, they are averaging 3.74 runs
per game. In that stretch, they are 11-20.” (subscription required)
NY Post: Mets recalling Francisco Alvarez after homer barrage in minors. “In 19 games with Syracuse, Alvarez demolished 11 home runs
— including another one Sunday, which was his seventh in his past six games.”

- Brian Buchanan (1973)
- Brett Hinchliffe (1974)
- Max Kranick (1997)
New York Mets traded Jesse Gonder to the Milwaukee Braves for Gary Kolb on July 21, 1965.
1962 | Craig Anderson throws a seven-hit, complete-game against Cincinnati, but New York cannot overcome Marv Throneberry's error which would have ended the fifth inning, allowing Vada Pinson to hit a two-out, two-run homer. The eventual 5-3 defeat at Crosley Field makes the right-hander the third consecutive Mets' starter, following losing efforts by Jay Hook and Roger Craig, to pitch a complete game and not get a victory. |
1970 | Ignoring Clay Kirby's bid for the Padres' first no-hitter in the 259th of their existence, San Diego skipper Preston Gomez, with his club trailing the Mets, 1-0, in the eighth inning, decides to pinch hit for his starting pitcher. Reliever Jack Baldschun fails to keep New York hitless, yielding a leadoff hit to Bud Harrelson, and San Diego eventually loses the Jack Murphy Stadium contest, 3-0. |
1975 | Mets' infielder Joe Torre becomes the first player in National League history to hit into four straight double plays in one game. Felix Millan singles in four consecutive at-bats against the Astros, making the dubious mark possible. |
