From the Guardians 4 Mets 1 Post Game Notes - 8/6/2025:
- Mets: Fell to the Guardians 4-1, in the final game of their three-game series at Citi Field...Were swept for the fifth time this season and for the second time at home (also: 6/13-15 vs. TB)...Have lost four or more straight games for the fourth time this season and for the second time since the All-Star Break (also: 7/28 - 8/1)...Marks the second time this season the Mets have lost four or more straight games at home (also: 6/13-24, 5 G)...Are 1-8 in their last nine games after they had won a season-high-tying seven straight games from July 20-27…Were held hitless until Juan Soto’s solo home run with one out in the ninth...Marked the first time the Mets were held hitless through the first 8.1 innings of a game since May 11, 2024 vs. Atlanta when Max Fried, Joe Jimenez and Raisel Iglesias combined to hold the Mets hitless through the first 26 outs of the game...Was the first hit for the Mets since Jeff McNeil’s single in the fourth inning of last night’s game...The Mets 13 consecutive innings without a hit was tied for the longest such streak in franchise history...The other time New York was held hitless in 13 straight innings was on April 4, 2024 vs. Detroit between two games of a doubleheader...Courtesy of Elias.
- Juan Soto (1-4, HR, RBI, R): Recorded the Mets only hit of the afternoon with a solo homer in the ninth.
- David Peterson (6.0 IP, 5 H, 4 ER, 2 BB, 7 K, BB): Completed 6.0 innings for the 15th time this season and for the sixth consecutive start...Marks the longest such streak of his career...Allowed four runs at home for the first since September 20 vs. Philadelphia...Had not allowed four runs in each of his first 11 home starts of the 2025 season...The southpaw allowed two home runs at Citi Field for only the third time in his career and for the first time July 1, 2022 vs. Texas.
Brian Joura Mets360: "The starting pitching hasn’t been great but the hitting has been wildly inconsistent, with a big outing every now and then gets your hopes up that things are going to change and then followed up with a bunch of poor outings. The Mets have scored three runs or fewer five times in the last eight games. They also had a 12-run day in that span."
Mike Vaccaro NY Post Sports+ The Mets are a team in crisis. "This is a team in crisis. It is a team that can no longer fall against the crutch of the extended stretch of terrific baseball they played between the Junes these last two seasons. What this is starting to look like is an amplified regression to the mean. And that — with three games against the MLB-best Brewers looming — seems optimistic." (Subscription required)
David Lennon Newsday: Mets' offensive woes have become inexcusable, and the season may be sinking as a result. "And with that, we’ve now officially downgraded the Mets’ quality of play from inexplicable to inexcusable. What’s there to say? A $333 million team that began the season with World Series aspirations, and boasted baseball’s best record on June 12, is now 10 games under .500 (18-28) since that high-water mark with an offense that’s barely breathing."

Transactions:
New York Mets traded Frank Thomas to the Philadelphia Phillies for Gary Kroll and Wayne Graham on August 7, 1964.
New York Mets released George Foster on August 7, 1986.
New York Mets released Shane Spencer on August 7, 2004.
New York Mets claimed Ricky Ledee on waivers from the Los Angeles Dodgers on August 7, 2006.
New York Mets released Alex Cora on August 7, 2010.
Los Angeles Dodgers signed Nick Tropeano of the New York Mets as a free agent on August 7, 2021.
1963: In the Mets' 7 - 3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals, Jim Hickman hits for the cycle, doing it in order. Both are firsts for the New York Mets.
1964: The 10th-place Mets send 1B Frank Thomas to the National League-leading Phils (1 1/2 games ahead of the Giants) for P Gary Kroll, OF Wayne Graham, and cash. Thomas, seemingly the answer to the Phils' first base problem, rides the Mets' team bus to Philadelphia, then finds out he has been traded. He then drives in two runs as the Phils top the Mets, 9 - 4. The Phils will take the next two games with Thomas collecting five RBIs in the sweep.
1972: When Cleon Jones misses a shoestring catch in the bottom of the 13th inning, Ted Sizemore races around with an inside-the-park homer to give the Cards a 3 - 2 win over the 2nd-place Mets. Diego Segui, in relief of Bob Gibson who pitches 10 innings, is the winner. Mets 2B Ken Boswell has no fielding chances to tie a major-league record for an extra-inning game.
1984: The Cubs sweep a pair from the visiting Mets, winning 8 - 6 and 8 - 4. Rick Sutcliffe (9-1) beats Ron Darling (10-5) in the opener, benefiting from a six-run 5th inning. Keith Moreland hits a three-run home run and Ron Cey a two-run shot in the 5th. A five-run 4th in the second game propels Chicago to the win for reliever Tim Stoddard. Lee Smith notches his 25th save.
1992: The Mets obtain OF Kevin Bass from the Giants for a player to be named.
1993: The Mets' Bret Saberhagen injures his left knee and will miss the rest of the season.
2009: Everth Cabrera of the Padres hits a 9th-inning walk-off grand slam off Mets closer Francisco Rodriguez for a 6 - 2 win.
2011: Dan Uggla extends his hitting streak to 28 games as the Braves defeat the Mets, 6 - 5. He has to wait until the 8th inning to deliver a single to keep the streak alive; his teammate Freddie Freeman is not so fortunate, as an 0-for-4 day ends his streak at 20 games. It is the first time a pair of teammates have had simultaneous 20-game streaks since Mickey Rivers and Al Oliver with the 1980 Texas Rangers. The real hero for the Braves, though, is the man Mets fans love to hate, Chipper Jones, who drives in the winning run with a 9th-inning single off Bobby Parnell.
