8/8/2025 Box Score: Milwaukee Brewers 3 New York Mets 2
Francisco Lindor#: SS 0 for 3; 1 walk; 2 Ks; Juan Soto: RF 1 for 4; 1 run; 1 RBI; 1 K; 1 HR; Pete Alonso: 1B 0 for 4; 1 K; Brandon Nimmo: LF 0 for 3; 1 walk; 2 Ks; Starling Marte: DH 2 for 4; 1 run; 1 RBI; 1 K; 1 HR; 1 double; Jeff McNeil*: 2B 2 for 4; Francisco Alvarez: C 0 for 2; 1 walk; Ronny Mauricio#: 3B 0 for 3; 2 Ks; Cedric Mullins: CF 0 for 3; 1 K; Kodai Senga: (L, 7-4) 4.1 innings; 3 runs; 1 ER; 2 hits; 1 HR; 3 walks; 2 Ks; Brooks Raley*: 1 inning; no runs; 1 hit; 2 Ks; Ryne Stanek: 0.2 inning; no runs; 1 K; Gregory Soto: 1 inning; no runs; 1 hit; 1 walk; 2 Ks; Tyler Rogers: 1 inning; no runs; 1 walk;
NY Post: "Soto, whose ninth-inning blast Wednesday was the team’s only hit against the Guardians, jumped on a 2-2 sinker from Woodruff in the first inning and cleared the right field fence. Marte’s homer leading off the second extended the lead to 2-0. It was the fifth homer this season for Marte and his first since June 5 at Dodger Stadium."
Newsday: "The 5th inning started on a chopper by Perkins to the first-base side of the mound that Senga bobbled for an error. Brice Turang rocketed the next pitch 424 feet to right for a tying two-run homer. Senga walked No. 9 hitter Joey Ortiz before Sal Frelick grounded into what looked to be a 4-6 forceout. But hold on: Frelick’s bat had made the slightest contact with Francisco Alvarez’s mitt. The catcher’s interference was scored an E-2 and there were two runners on. Then there were three when Senga walked William Contreras to load the bases. Mendoza called in lefty Brooks Raley to face switch hitter Isaac Collins. After getting ahead 0-and-2, Raley hit Collins with a pitch to make it 3-2."
Abbie Mastracco NY Daily News: "Kodai Senga couldn’t even make it through five innings Friday night at American Family Field, running the Mets’ streak of games to 51 without having at least two starting pitchers throw six or more innings. Left-hander David Peterson is the only starter to have thrown six or more since early June."
Brian Joura Mets360: "Marte managed to hit a double in the top of the ninth against Trevor Megill, making things a bit interesting until he got thrown out at the plate trying to leg out a run on a single by Jeff McNeil."
NY Post: David Stearns not blaming hitting coaches for Mets’ offensive woes. “I have confidence in our hitting coaches,” Stearns said. “I think we have good hitting coaches. They have track records of helping to lead and putting together really quality offenses. This is, at times, baseball, and it will drive you crazy when you have talented players who go through stretches like this.
NY Post: Mets’ David Stearns hasn’t given up on struggling Frankie Montas: ‘I know he’s working hard’. Montas, who either will start on Saturday or pitch behind an opener — manager Carlos Mendoza wasn’t ready to announce his plans before Friday’s 3-2 loss to the Brewers — has been the rotation’s weak link. His struggles have prompted calls for the organization to promote a top pitching prospect such as Nolan McLean or Brandon Sproat to receive a shot.

New York Mets signed free agent Joe Panik on August 9, 2019.
1964 - Phillies P Jim Bunning, who pitched a no-hitter in his last start against the Mets, throws another five innings of hitless ball against New York before Joe Christopher beats out a 2-out bunt. Bunning wins the game, 6 - 0.
1970 - At Three Rivers Stadium, Willie Stargell hits an 8th-inning homer into the 70-foot high right field upper deck, the first player to hit one up there. The pitch is served up by Mets reliever Ron Taylor. The next two hit up there will also be by Stargell, who will hit four of the first 7; Bob Robertson, Phillie Greg Luzinski, and Bobby Bonilla, in 1987, will also reach the seats. The Pirates win, 8 - 3. Nolan Ryan is the loser, allowing four runs in six innings, allowing three hits, walking seven and striking out 10.
1975 - Davey Lopes steals his 32nd consecutive base without being caught for the Dodgers in a 2 - 0 win over the Mets. This breaks the major-league record set by Max Carey in 1922.
1987: With help from Lee Smith, Scott Sanderson beats the Mets, 6 - 3, at Shea Stadium. The loser is Doc Gooden, who snaps his 10-game winning streak against the Cubs. He'll start another streak of 12 wins.
