Brian Joura Mets360: "For the fifth time this season, Clay Holmes turned in a 5 IP, 1 ER performance, which given how he had pitched recently was a sight for sore eyes. And along with solid starting pitching, the Mets’ offense came thru with 14 hits, leading to a 7-3 win over the Mariners in Williamsport, PA. Sunday night."
NY Post: "They got an offensive outburst against Seattle’s George Kirby and a solid start from Clay Holmes, with the victory capped by Mark Vientos’ three-run, opposite-field homer in the fifth...Losers of 14 of 17 heading into the game, the Mets remained 1 1/2 games ahead of Cincinnati for the third and final NL wild-card spot."
NY Daily News: "The Mariners attempted to rally, sparked by a two-run blast from Cal Raleigh (his league-leading 47th of the year) off Reed Garrett in the 7th to trim the deficit to four, but they’d get no closer."
Newsday: "Francisco Alvarez, who left the game after the seventh with a right thumb injury, went 3-for-4 and Lindor was 3-for-5. Mark Vientos went 2-for-3 with four RBIs, including a three-run homer in the fifth that gave the Mets a 6-1 lead."
NY Post: "Alvarez was removed prior to the eighth inning after injuring his right thumb on a headfirst slide into second in the bottom of the seventh. He’ll return to New York and get an MRI on the thumb Monday, manager Carlos Mendoza said."

From the Mets 4 Marlins 0 Post Game Notes:
- Luis Severino (9.0 IP, 4 H, BB, 8 K): Recorded his second career complete game shutout (Also: 5/2/18 vs. Houston with Yankees).
- Francisco Lindor (2-4, HR, RBI, BB, 2 R): Led off the bottom of the first with a solo home run.
- Pete Alonso (1-4, HR, RBI, R): Crushed a solo home run in the second inning to extend the Mets lead to 2-0…Was his 100th career home run at Citi Field…Joins Darryl Strawberry (127) and Mike Piazza (105) as the only Mets with 100 or more homers in Queens.
- Mark Vientos (2-4, 2B, RBI): Pulled a double in the fourth inning to push the Mets lead to 4-0.
NY Post: Luis Severino pitches rare complete-game shutout tolead Mets past Marlins again. “Severino drilled Jake Burger with his first
pitch in the ninth and Mendoza went to the mound. The Citi Field crowd booed,
thinking Mendoza was going to pull Severino for Edwin Diaz. But with Severino’s
velocity still up, Mendoza let him go batter-by-batter, telling him, ‘This is
your game.’”

From the Mets 4 Cardinals 2 Post Game Notes:
- Jose Quintana retired the first 10 Cardinals batters of the game...home run allowed to Tyler O'Neill in the 7th inning ended a 22.1 consecutive scoreless innings streak at Busch Stadium dating back to Sept. 6, 2022 that included the 2022 NL Wild Card Series.
- Tim Locastro hit his 8th career home run, three of which have been pinch hit homers.
- Pete Alonso belted his 37th home run of the season in the 4th inning, a two-run shot that gave him 91 RBI to surpass OZZIE ALBIES for 2ndmost in the NL.
- The Mets snapped a seven-game road losing streak...have won five of their last six games at Busch Stadium (May 5, 2021-present).
NY Post: Jose Quintana, Pete Alonso propel Mets past Cardinals. “[Quintana] dominated into the seventh inning Thursday night against the Cardinals before he weakened, but with help from the bullpen, the Mets held on for a 4-2 victory at Busch Stadium. It was the fifth straight start in which Quintana, who got his first Mets win, pitched at least six innings and allowed three earned runs or fewer. He went six-plus innings and surrendered two earned runs on three hits and four walks with five strikeouts.”

NY Post: Mets hold off Braves after Brett Baty homers infirst MLB at-bat. “As for debuts go, Baty crushed it. He became just the fifth player in franchise history to homer in his first major league at-bat, helping the Mets to a much-needed 9-7 victory over the Braves… Baty wasn’t alone in displaying power on this night: Starling Marte homered twice and Francisco Lindor hit another to help lead the Mets’ 14-hit attack”
ESPN.com: "Baty became the fifth player in Mets history to homer in his first at-bat — the last being Mike Jacobs in 2005. A worker was able to retrieve the ball, which will become a treasured keepsake."
NY Post: Mets’ Max Scherzer stayed ‘locked in’ during raindelay. “After a 34-minute rain delay, Scherzer resumed pitching. Overall he lasted 6 ¹/₃ innings and allowed four earned runs on three hits and three walks with eight strikeouts in the Mets’ 9-7 victory over the Braves.”
"I was just up there looking for a pitch to drive and had some fun with it. That's a great way to start the career for sure"

SNY.TV: Mets Takeaways from Monday's 11-4 win over the Marlins, including Pete Alonso and Robinson Cano playing Home Run Derby. Duo went back-to-back in the sixth after each homering earlier in the contest.
Mets360: “The homers were part of a nine-XBH night for the Mets. In all, the Mets banged out 14 hits, including four with runners in scoring position. They also drew eight walks and had three batters hit.”
Metstradamus: “[Chasen] Shreve, however, was dominant in his 2 and 1/3’s innings, striking out five batters without giving up a hit. This was at a point in the game where both starters were pulled and the game had the potential to be a 12-11 loss where Brodie makes a special trip to Bob’s Furniture just to throw a different variety of chairs because the chairs in his palatial estate bore him.”
