Brian Joura Mets360: "Pete Alonso hit a 3-run homer and the Mets had eight hits with runners in scoring position, leading to a 12-6 win over the Giants Saturday afternoon at Citi Field. The win snapped a four-game losing streak and combined with a loss by the Phillies, put the Mets back in first place in the NL East."
NY Post: "Saturday’s 12-6 win over the Giants at Citi Field wasn’t just reassuring because it ended a four-game losing streak and put the Mets back atop the division. But also because Lindor, Alonso and leadoff hitter Brandon Nimmo combined to drive in 10 runs to go along with five runs scored and eight hits."
Newsday: Mets' Pete Alonso hits HR No. 250, Francisco Lindor, Brandon Nimmo total seven RBIs in rout of Giants. "Francisco Lindor went 3-for-4 with four RBIs, Brandon Nimmo was 3-for-4 with three RBI singles and Pete Alonso (2-for-4) hit his 250th career homer, a three-run blast in the first inning that opened the scoring and moved him within two of record-holder Darryl Strawberry on the franchise’s all-time list. All nine Mets starters reached base."
NY Daily News: "The early offense was necessary on an afternoon Mets ace Kodai Senga struggled.Senga surrendered four runs in four innings, giving up five hits and three walks over 71 pitches. Since coming off the injured list for a hamstring strain last month, Senga has pitched to a 6.19 ERA over four starts. The right-hander had a 1.47 ERA in his 13 starts before the injury."

1962 | With his sixth home run in three consecutive games, Frank Thomas ties a National League record when he goes deep off Cincinnati's Joey Jay in the bottom of the seventh inning of a Mets 8-6 loss at the Polo Grounds. The right-handed slugger, who equaled the mark with a pair of round-trippers in each game, will add another homer to his club leading total in tomorrow's contest. |
1987 | After his ejection in the bottom of the 12th inning for arguing a close call at first base, the Columbia Mets manager Butch Hobson yanks the bag out of the ground and brings it into the clubhouse in protest. The bounced skipper is convinced to return the base to the field because the team has only one set of bases, but not before he sprays it bright orange to make the bag easier to see for the umpire. |
1995 | Making his first start for the Rockies since being acquired from the Mets, Brett Saberhagen gives up 13 hits and walks three batters, but gets the win in the team's 9-4 win over the Dodgers. The sellout crowd gives their new hurler an enthusiastic standing ovation when he departs the game with one out in the seventh inning. |
2015 | Mike Hessman breaks the minor league home run record with the 433rd round-tripper of his nearly 19-year career, a grand slam against the Lehigh Valley IronPigs in the Mudhens' 10-8 extra-inning International League (AAA) loss at Toledo's Fifth Third Field. The 37 year-old first baseman, who played parts of five seasons with the Braves, Tigers, and Mets, surpasses Buzz Arlett, who established the mark in 1936 while playing for the Minneapolis Millers. |
