Brian Joura Mets360: "Nolan McLean was brilliant over eight innings and the offense came thru again, as the Mets blanked the Phillies, 6-0, Wednesday night at Citi Field. McLean became the first pitcher in franchise history to win his first three starts. The victory gave the Mets a sweep over the Phillies and cut the division lead to four games."
Anthony DiComo Mets.com: "Featuring a fastball that hit 96 mph, a curveball that bent as tightly as any in the sport and four other pitches he mixed in liberally over eight innings, McLean flummoxed one of the NL’s top offenses. After allowing a one-out single to Alec Bohm in the second inning, the right-hander retired 15 consecutive batters before permitting another baserunner.
Laura Albanese Newsday: "It’s mostly because “McLean” sounds like “Lightning McQueen,” the animated racecar from the movie “Cars.” It’s apt. McLean, too, is an electric rookie, and Wednesday’s start — an eight-inning gem that keyed a 6-0 win over the Phillies — all but cemented the fact that all this time, the Mets had a proverbial Ferrari locked up in the garage. No longer."
Mike Puma NY Post: "Five straight hits against Taijuan Walker in the third inning staked the Mets to a 3-0 lead. Francisco Lindor, Juan Soto and Pete Alonso each delivered an RBI single in the inning after Brett Baty doubled leading off and Hayden Senger bunted for a hit...And Vientos put the icing on the sweep with a two-run homer in the seventh — his sixth blast in his last 10 games."
Abbey Mastracco NY Daily News: "The loss for the Phillies (76-57) cut the division lead over the Mets (72-61) to only 4.0 games. The two will play a four-game series at Citizens Bank Park starting Sept. 8, which could determine the winner of the NL east. The Mets maintain the third NL Wild Card spot behind the San Diego Padres and Chicago Cubs."

Today in Mets History Per Ultimatemets.com:
Born on this date:
- Billy Cowan (1938)
- Mike Torrez (1946)
- Joel Youngblood (1951)
Transactions:
New York Mets traded Gerald Young, Mitch Cook and Manny Lee to the Houston Astros for Ray Knight on August 28, 1984.
New York Mets traded Alejandro Pena to the Atlanta Braves for Tony Castillo and Joe Roa on August 28, 1991.
New York Mets claimed Guillermo Heredia on waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates on August 28, 2020.
1884 | New York Gotham pitcher Mickey Welch strikes out the first nine Cleveland Blues hitters to come to the plate, establishing a major league record. The mark will last until 1970 when Mets right-hander Tom Seaver strikes out the last ten San Diego he faces in a Shea Stadium contest. |
1962 | Al Jackson limits the opposing batters to three hits, going the distance in the Mets’ 2-0 victory over the Phillies at Connie Mack Stadium. The 26 year-old left-hander’s effort marks the fourth time he has blanked the opponents, accounting for all of the expansion team’s shutouts the entire season. |
2003 | Jose Reyes becomes the youngest player in major league history to hit a home run from each side of the plate. The 20 year-old shortstop accounts for all the Mets runs, hitting a solo shot from the right side of the dish off southpaw Mike Hampton in the fifth inning, and then, batting as left-handed hitter in the ninth, a two-run dinger off right-hander Trey Hodges in the team's 3-1 victory over Atlanta at Turner Field. |
1989: Frank Viola and the Mets outduel Orel Hershiser and the Dodgers 1 - 0 in the first-ever regular-season matchup of defending Cy Young Award winners.
1993:The Mets sign P Kirk Presley, their top pick in this year's amateur draft, for $960,000. The pitcher is a distant cousin of Elvis Presley. In 1999, Gerry Hunsicker will recall his decision to draft Presley: "I didn't make one of the brightest decisions of my career when I passed on a young pitcher out of Ferrum College (Billy Wagner) and chose another who never got out of A ball."
