SNY.TV: Lack of Mets offense overshadows Jose Quintana’s strong start vs. Mariners. "The Mets’ southpaw made one mistake early in the game -- a second-inning homer to Ryan Bliss -- but mowed down the Mariners lineup for six innings, even retiring 14 straight at one point...However, Quintana’s night unraveled in the seventh. After allowing the first two batters to get on base, Quintana was one pitch away from getting out of the inning after a strikeout and a dribbler. But Leo Rivas poked a 3-2 changeup down in the zone the other way to plate two runs." 

Tim Healey Newsday: Mets can't figure out Bryce Miller, get shut out by Seattle. " For the Mets, who recently have struggled with runners in scoring position at times, the issue wasn’t so much getting runners in as it was getting them on. After Brandon Nimmo’s one-out walk in the first, the closest they came to mounting a challenge was a pair of two-out doubles by Mark Vientos in the second and Nimmo in the third. Both were stranded there." 

NY Post: Mets’ bats go cold, pitching unravels late in series-opening loss to Mariners. "After hitting two home runs in Thursday’s 9-1 victory in Colorado, Pete Alonso had an 0-for-4 night at the plate. Included was taking a called third strike in the eighth inning with two runners on base. Alonso voiced displeasure with plate umpire Manny Gonzalez’s call and didn’t retreat until manager Carlos Mendoza interceded."

From the Mets 4 Cubs 3 Post Game Notes 8/9/2023: 

• Pete Alonso (1-2, HR, 2 RBI, R, 2 BB): Roped a game-tying two-run homer in the fourth inning, his fourth of this series...Is the sixth Met ever and the first since Francisco Lindor from September 10 - 12, 2021 vs. New York-AL to have four home runs in a three-game series...Is the first Met to have four seasons of 35 or more home runs...Needs one more RBI to tie Keith Hernandez (468) for 10th all-time in Mets history and the most by a first baseman in franchise history...Ranks third in the majors and second in the National League in both home runs (35) and RBI (87). 
• Jeff McNeil (1-4, HR, RBI, R): Hit a solo home run in the sixth inning..Has two home runs over his last five games...Had three in his first 108 games. 
• Jonathan Araúz (1-4, RBI): Extended the Mets’ lead with an RBI single to right in the sixth. 
• Francisco Lindor (1-3, R, BB): Extended his hitting streak to seven games with a line drive single to center in the fourth...Has hit .440 (11-25) during that span with two doubles, a homer, four RBI and five runs.

From the Mets 6 Reds 2 - Post Game Notes:

• Mets: Are 33 games over .500 for the first time since they were 92-59 on 9/20/06.
• Francisco Lindor (1-4, HR, 2 RBI, R): Became the first shortstop in Mets history with multiple seasons of 20 or homers with a two-run shot in the third. 
• Darin Ruf (2-4, 2B, 2 RBI, R): Hit a two-run single in the seventh...Has 43 RBI this season, matching a career-high set in 2021. 
• Carlos Carrasco (W,13-4, 6.2 IP, 7 H, 2 ER, BB, 9 K): Earned his 13th win of the season, tied for second-most in the majors.

NY Post: “Francisco Lindor and Carlos Carrasco arrived together from Cleveland in the same blockbuster trade in 2021, looking to duplicate the success they enjoyed throughout their careers there. That duo continued their respective excellent rebound seasons in Flushing and fronted the Mets to their fifth consecutive win Tuesday night, with Lindor blasting his 20th home run of the year to support Carrasco’s 6 ²/₃ innings of two-run ball in a rain-delayed 6-2 victory over the Reds at Citi Field.”

Mike Puma NY Post: ‘Amazing’ Andres Gimenez does it all inMets’ second straight win. “Gimenez…went 3-for-4 with two singles and a double and stolen base in raising his average to .333 in 33 at-bats this season. In addition to his offense, he showed his awareness by backing up Pete Alonso to prevent Eddy Alvarez from taking an extra base on Alonso’s fielding error in the sixth…It was Gimenez’s bunt single leading off the sixth that led to the Mets getting their final run, on Jeff McNeil’s sacrifice fly. Gimenez had also scored two earlier runs.”

NY Post: Mets’ strike out headaches arise again in anotherloss. “On Sunday, the Mets struck out 13 times, running their total to 28 over two games. Of their six hits against Chris Archer and the Rays bullpen, only one went for extra bases…Daniel Murphy stroked a two-run single in the second to give the Mets a 3-0 lead. Archer issued four walks in the inning, including one to Curtis Granderson that forced in the first run. Murphy then smacked a full-count slider for two runs…Bartolo Colon (L,10-11) flushed a three-run lead and watched the Rays go ahead in the seventh on Richie Shaffer’s leadoff homer."
