Brian Joura Mets 360: "The Mets jumped on All-Star Logan Webb, scoring twice in the first inning and tallying six runs in four innings against the Giants’ ace, and came away with an 8-1 victory Friday night in San Francisco. The Mets have now won five in a row and are 18-12 in games decided by five or more runs"


AP Sports: "Francisco Lindor homered in the third, Brandon Nimmo added a two-run single in the fourth and Juan Soto drove in two runs as New York backed Clay Holmes, and the Mets beat the San Francisco Giants 8-1 on Friday night for their fifth straight win.  Holmes (9-5) surrendered one run and six hits over five innings with two strikeouts and a walk for his first win in five starts since beating Atlanta on June 25." 


NY Post: Red-hot Brandon Nimmo propels Mets past Giants for fifth straight win. "Friday night, he was central in two early Mets rallies that led to an 8-1 victory over the Giants at Oracle Park. The Mets won their fifth straight and remained a half-game ahead of the Phillies for first place in the NL East. Nimmo, who began the night with a .920 OPS for July, finished 2-for-5 with two RBIs, helping the Mets to knock out Giants ace Logan Webb after only four innings. Nimmo’s on-base streak extended to a season-high 18 games."


Clay Holmes went 5 innings after a 1st inning where her threw over 30 pitches. Heliot Ramos singled and Rafael Devers doubled to lead off the game and Willy Adames had a 10 pitch at-bat grounding out to Mauricio to score the Giants run.  He limited the damage at that point and wound up throwing a career high 104 pitches.

New York Mets released Brandon Knight on July 26, 2009.

New York Mets released Miguel Batista on July 26, 2012.


1962
Braves hurler Warren Spahn, en route to a complete-game victory, homers off Mets right-hander Craig Anderson to set the National League record for round-trippers hit by a pitcher. The southpaw's 31st career home run helps Milwaukee extend New York's losing streak to 11 with a 6-1 victory at County Stadium.
2012
Matt Harvey sets a Mets record for strikeouts in a major league debut previously established and shared by Tom Seaver and Bill Denehy with nine when he fans 11 batters in the team's 3-1 victory over Arizona at Chase Field. In his 5.1 innings on the mound, the rookie right-hander gives up three hits, while collecting two hits in the batter's box.



1964The Braves sweep the Mets in a doubleheader at Shea Stadium, but Atlanta uses 11 pitchers to do it. The Mets also use 11 pitchers, a two-team record, as the Braves win, 11 - 7 and 15 - 10. Both wins go to Chi-Chi Olivo who toils just 2 2/3 innings.

1975 - Bill Madlock goes 6 for 6 during the Cubs' 10-inning, 9 - 8, loss to the Mets.

1978Johnny Bench hits his 300th career home run, off Nino Espinosa, and Pete Rose hits in his 39th straight game, but the Reds bow to the Mets, 12 - 3.

2012Matt Harvey strikes out 11 Diamondback hitters in his major league debut, beating the Mets franchise record of 9 held by Tom Seaver and Bill Denehy; it is the most in a debut since Stephen Strasburg fanned 14 for the Nationals two years ago. Harvey allows no runs on three hits in 5 1/3 innings, before leaving because of pitch count issues; for good measure, he also goes 2 for 2 at the plate, with a double off Wade Miley for his first major league hit. He gets credit for the Mets' 3 - 1 win at Chase Field.
