8/5/2025 Box Score: Cleveland Guardians 3 New York Mets 2
Starling Marte: DH 0 for 4; Francisco Lindor#: SS 0 for 3; 1 run; 1 walk; Juan Soto: RF 0 for 2; 2 walks; 2 Ks; 1 SB; Pete Alonso: 1B 1 for 3; 1 RBI; Brandon Nimmo: LF 0 for 4; 2 Ks; Mark Vientos: 3B 1 for 4; 1 run; 1 K; 1 double; Jeff McNeil*: 2B 1 for 3; 1 K; Francisco Alvarez: C 0 for 3; 1 walk; 2 Ks; Tyrone Taylor: CF 1 for 3; 1 RBI; 1 K; Clay Holmes: 5 innings; 2 runs; 2 ERs; 3 hits; 1 walk; 6 Ks; Gregory Soto: 1 inning; no runs; Tyler Rogers: (L, 4-4) 1 inning; 1 run; 1 ER; 3 hits; Brooks Raley: 1 inning; no runs; 1 K; Ryan Helsley: 1 inning; no runs; 2 Ks;
Mets are now 18-27 since June 13th.
- Pete Alonso: Put the Mets on the board with a sacrifice fly in the first inning...He has 10 RBI over his last five games and his 91 RBI this season are the second-most in the majors.
- Tyrone Taylor: Plated one with a single to left field in the second to increase the Mets' lead to 2-0...The hit snapped a 0-19 skid and it marked his first RBI at home since June 26 vs. Atlanta.
- Brooks Raley (1.0 IP, K): Tossed a scoreless eighth inning and hasn’t allowed a run through his first eight appearances this season (6.2 IP)...Dating back to September 22, 2023, each of his last 19 outings have been scoreless.
Brian Joura Mets360: "The Mets can’t catch a break. When their SP finally doesn’t put them in a hole, the offense takes the night off and the other team wins because of sequencing. The Guardians had just six hits and one walk but they bunched all seven of those baserunners into two innings and wound up with three runs, enough for a 3-2 victory over the Mets Tuesday night. The Mets are now 1-7 in their last eight games and fell to 2.5 games out of first place in the NL East."
Newsday: "The Mets were held to four hits by five Guardians pitchers and didn’t have a hit in the final five innings. They fell 2 1⁄2 games behind the Phillies in the NL East. The Mets have lost three in a row; the Phillies have won three in a row."
NY Post: "...a potent offense, which finished with just four hits and went silent, is not following the blueprint and especially struggling against lefties. They managed two runs against Cleveland southpaw Logan Allen in the first two innings — and even the successes came with a dose of frustration. [In the 2nd] the Mets then loaded the bases with one out for Lindor, who smoked a ground ball up the middle that was unfortunately aimed, going for a double play."
Anthony Reiber Newsday: "After going a season-low 3 2⁄3 innings in his last outing, Holmes pitched five innings on Tuesday and allowed two runs. He left after 75 pitches with the score tied at 2. Holmes, a converted reliever, has thrown a career-high 122 1⁄3 innings. His previous career high was 70 innings in 69 relief appearances for Pittsburgh and the Yankees in 2021."
NY Daily News: "Tyler Rogers — one of the marquee relievers the Mets acquired before last week’s trade deadline — surrendered three hits in the seventh inning, including a two-out, go-ahead RBI single to Steven Kwan that proved to be the game-winner."

Transactions:
New York Mets purchased Ralph Terry from the Kansas City Athletics on August 6, 1966.
New York Mets signed free agent Wilmer Flores on August 6, 2007.
New York Mets traded Greg Veloz to the Washington Nationals for Anderson Hernandez on August 6, 2009.
1988 | Jim Gott balks three times in the eighth inning, two of which allow a runner to score from third base. The Pirates relief pitcher's poor form on the mound proves to be the difference in the Mets' 5-3 victory over the Bucs at Three Rivers Stadium. |
2003 | Three weeks after trading for Armando Benitez with the crosstown Mets, the Yankees trade the much maligned reliever to the Mariners. In return, the Bronx Bombers get back 36 year-old Jeff Nelson for his second tour with the team. |
2006 | The Mets continue to make a commitment to their young players, signing 23 year-old David Wright to a $55 million, six-year contract extension. The third baseman joins shortstop Jose Reyes, also 23, who inked a long term deal with the club three days ago worth $23.25 million over the four years of the extension of the Dominican's contract. |
1969: Jim Merritt pitches the Reds back into first place in the National League West with a 3 - 2 win against the Mets.
1970: For the second and last time in his career, Lou Brock steals home, teaming up with Joe Hague on a double steal in the 1st inning against the Mets in St. Louis. Nelson Briles wins, 3 - 0, stopping Tom Seaver's nine-game win streak.
1975: The Mets fire manager Yogi Berra, promoting coach Roy McMillan as interim skipper.
1986: The Mets release outfielder George Foster, the last National League player to hit 50 home runs in one season. Foster will play 15 games for the White Sox before retiring for good.
2017: The Dodgers complete their first-ever season sweep of the Mets with an 8 - 0 win on a combined one-hitter by Hyun-Jin Ryu, Tony Cingrani and Kenley Jansen. New York only places two men on base all day: Travis d'Arnaud who hits a single in the 3rd, and Brandon Nimmo who draws a walk in the 9th. Meanwhile, Cody Bellinger hits his 32nd homer and Justin Turner, who also homers, improves his National League-leading batting average to .349. As the Associated Press puts it: "Los Angeles crushed the Mets like refuse in a trash compactor, outscoring them 57-15 over seven games and outhomering them 25-11."
