Brian Joura Mets360: "The Mets clubbed six home runs and Clay Holmes had a strong outing, leading the Mets to a 9-2 win over the Braves Saturday night in Atlanta. The Mets have now hit 39 homers in the month of August and in the post-game interview, Jeff McNeil said they were hitting the fastball."
Laura Albanese Newsday: Mets' Mark Vientos, Jeff McNeil hit two homers apiece in lopsided win over Atlanta. "Holmes, utilizing all of his pitches to great effect, allowed two runs and three hits with two walks and four strikeouts in 6 1⁄3 innings. Before Nolan McLean’s sterling performance Friday, the Mets hadn’t had a starter other than David Peterson complete the sixth inning since June 7. Holmes lowered his ERA to 3.60 in his second-longest MLB start."
Mike Puma NY Post: "McNeil, back in the lineup after a two-game absence with right shoulder discomfort, launched a three-run homer in the third inning that gave the Mets a 3-0 lead...Marte’s arm saved a run in the bottom of the inning. Jurickson Profar hit a fly to medium left field, on which Nacho Alvarez Jr. tagged up at third base. Marte...unleashed a perfect throw home to nail Alvarez for the final out."
Andrew Tredinnick The Record: "For the majority of the game, McNeil's three-run home run sustained the Mets until they tagged three long balls in the seventh inning and added two more in the ninth to throttle the Braves, 9-2, in front of 39,738 fans on Saturday night at Truist Park."
Abbey Mastracco NY Daily News: "The statement is this: Don’t count the Mets out just yet. They remain in second place in the NL East behind the Philadelphia Phillies, and in third place in the NL Wild Card standings, now 2.5 games up on the Cincinnati Reds."

ESPN.com Joe Musgrove shuts down the Mets with his arm and glove as the Padres win 7-0. "Joe Musgrove allowed just one hit in seven brilliant innings and made a terrific defensive play to lead the San Diego Padres to a 7-0 win against the New York Mets on Friday night that evened a four-game series between teams in playoff contention...With two outs in the sixth, Francisco Lindor hit a bouncer to the right side of the infield. Musgrove bounded off the mound, made a sliding stab at the ball and scooped it with his glove to first baseman Jake Cronenworth for the out."
NY Post: Paul Blackburn exits early after taking liner off hand in Mets injury concern. "The Mets right-hander was forced to leave his start against the Padres at Petco Park in the third inning after taking a line drive off his right hand...Blackburn allowed 10 hits and five earned runs over 2 1/3 innings."

NY Post: Jose Quintana fades late in outing as Mets lose series to Braves. "For a second straight night the Mets’ lineup was muzzled — this time with only three hits against Charlie Morton and the Braves bullpen. Quintana had allowed only one run into the sixth, but Marcell Ozuna and Sean Murphy delivered run-scoring hits against him to ruin his outing before Vaughn Grissom’s triple against Phil Bickford extended the Braves’ lead to 5-0."

NY Post: Mets’ Taijuan Walker hurt by Aaron Judge homer: ‘got a little too quick’. "After retiring the first nine batters he faced — and before handling the final three — the Mets right-hander surrendered a monstrous fourth-inning solo homer to Aaron Judge. Then, after loading the bases, he walked Oswaldo Cabrera, who began the night batting only .136."
NY Post: "In the fifth inning, with the Mets trailing 2-0, Starling Marte ground a two-out single to right field, scoring Mark Canha from third and prompting a play at the plate on Brett Baty, who was trying to score from second base...Oswaldo Cabrera, playing right field, came up throwing and put his full body into a bullet to Kyle Higashioka. The catcher made a nice pick and applied the tag on Baty, preventing the Mets from tying the game."
Tim Healey Newsday: "On one of the key plays in a 4-2 loss to the Yankees, Pete Alonso got caught backpedaling, backpedaling, backpedaling — and now so are the Mets. Alonso gave chase to Jose Trevino’s pop-up down the rightfield line, but when he ended up twisting around and walking with his back to the even deeper parts of the outfield, the ball eluded his glove completely and fell fair. Trevino had a single and the Yankees had runners on the corners, setting up what became their game-deciding rally."
SNY.TV: "With runners on first and third, Andrew Benintendi hit and RBI single to left for a 3-2 lead. Adam Ottavino came in and struck out DJ LeMahieu for the second out, but then he gave up a line single to center to Judge that knocked in another run."

Baseball Reference: For the second time this year, Jacob deGrom strikes out at least 13 batters and also homers in a game, limiting the Braves to 1 run over 7 innings. However, his long ball is the only offense for the Mets tonight, who go on to lose the game, 2 - 1, in 14 innings on Billy Hamilton's first hit with Atlanta. DeGrom records his 200th K of the year in the game, as New York's pitchers combine for a total of 26, tying the major league record for an extra-inning game. Before deGrom did it twice in a season, no pitcher had ever struck out 13 or more batters and homered in the same game more than once in his career. For Atlanta, Ronald Acuna becomes the second youngest player to record a 30-30 season, after Mike Trout.

Mets starter Jon Niese retired just one batter, walking two and allowing an RBI single before coming out with left knee soreness. It would be the last MLB game of his career. He pitched 188 games as a Met, winning 61 while losing 62. He will be known as one of the main starting pitchers between the period of 2009 and 2014 when the Mets were in the bottom half of the division.
After Niese left, Robert Gsellman (W,1-0) allowed the two inherited runners to score but settled down after that, 3.2 innings, no runs, 2 hits 3 walks, 2 Ks. Mets scored 7 runs on 12 hits - including 6 in the first four innings.
NY Post: "Whether it was rookies Robert Gsellman and Josh Smoker combining to allow one run over 5 ²/₃ innings in relief before the Mets’ horses took over in the seventh or Justin Ruggiano hitting his second homer in his last three starts, manager Terry Collins’ crew found help in unexpected places....Wilmer Flores also delivered a key blow, a three-run homer in the first inning against Jaime Garcia that gave the Mets an important cushion before Niese even walked to the mound. Jose Reyes reached base four times, scored twice and stole a base, and Asdrubal Cabrera was 3-for-5 with a stolen base. The Mets were 5-for-9 with runners in scoring position, including James Loney’s bloop RBI single in the ninth.

ESPN.com: Verrett goes 8 innings, gets 1st MLB win, Mets sweep Rockies. "Verrett stepped into Harvey's spot and earned his first major league win in his first start, pitching eight sharp innings and leading the Mets over the Colorado Rockies 5-1 Sunday."
NY Post: "Murphy’s RBI double in the first accounted for the Mets’ initial run. Curtis Granderson walked leading off and stole second before Murphy knocked in his 50th run of the season...David Hale’s wildness in the second inning allowed the Mets to score twice and take a 3-0 lead. After Hale drilled Flores and Michael Conforto singled – taking second on a wild throw by Gonzalez – the pitcher unloaded two wild pitches, allowing both runners to score. Hale had a third wild pitch in the inning, after Recker walked."

National Pastime.com: After making an error and a poor play allowing a batter to reach on an infield hit, Eric Bruntlett redeems himself when he turns the Mets' attempted double steal into a game-ending unassisted triple play, marking only the 14th regular-season triple-killing. The rare event occurs when the second baseman snares Jeff Francoeur's line drive for the first out, steps on second to double up Luis Castillo, and then tags the runner coming from first base, Daniel Murphy, for the last out of Phillies' 9-7 Citi Field victory.
